Here's the status of the snake farm. These are just the boxes on the
lysator.liu.se network (ie, the one's I have access to :-)
HPUX - 3 pass, 0 fail
AIX - 0 pass, 3 fail
Alpha - 1 pass, 2 fail
Solaris - no tests run, due to signal problems
SunOS - fails, Python no longer supports SunOS
One failure on asmodean (Alpha) is due to the compiler (egcs-2.91.66)
being broken. I built python without optimization (-O0) and the two
tests which normally fail (test_fcntl and test_struct) then passed.
Can we change the config to build without optimization on asmodean?
The other Alpha failure (on aristocat) is at least mostly due to a
bsddb problem. The error message from the 4 db tests is:
'architecture lacks fast mutexes: applications cannot be threaded'
Not sure if this is a bsddb library problem or something else.
I think all of the AIX failures are due to dynamic loading problems. I
have asked on comp.lang.python and comp.unix.aix. I have received no
help, though.
The AIX problem is that loading a dynamic module works, but as soon as
the module tries to access something within Python, it seg faults. I
downloaded python 2.2.1 built by IBM and ran it on the machines
without the same symptom. So it must be some build and/or environment
issue, but I have no idea what. Anybody have any ideas or people to
contact?
