[Visualpython-users] visual on FreeBSD

[Lee H. <mi...@ho...>]

Just a quick note that with the lastest gcc 3.3 upgrade in
FreeBSD ports (3.3.4 20040505) I am now able to build
visual-2.9.3 and run many of the examples.

bounce.py
bounce2.py
colorsliders.py
controlstest.py
crystal_old.py
dipole.py
doublependulum.py
hanoi.py


In the examples which work, the mouse buttons work
just fine also.


Most of the examples die with :

Abort (core dumped)

convex.py
crossproduct.py
crystal.py (but not crystal_old.py)
drape.py
faces_cone.py
faces_heightfield.py
gas.py
graphtest.py
gyro2.py
helix.py
lathe.py
lorenz.py
orbit.py
planar.py
randombox.py
stars.py
stonehenge.py
text.py
texttest.py
tictac.py
toroid.py
toroid_drag.py
wave.py


crossproduct.py gives ...

Segmentation fault (core dumped)



gyro.py finishes with ...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gyro.py", line 49, in ?
    radius=Rspring, thickness=Dspring, color=(1,0.7,0.2))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/visual/primitives.py", line 
190, in __init__
    pos_data[:,0] = xx
TypeError: Array can not be safely cast to required type


dipole.py works, but hangs when trying to close the window.


I am not sure what is common between the ones which work,
but I suspect some module which is built with the wrong compiler
(numeric?  Would that cause a failure like this?)


Maybe I will try rebuilding numeric with gcc33 and see what happens.
Thanks for your time.
