Re: [Visualpython-users] Mandrake 8.2 compile problems

<I meant to send my previous reply to the list. Sorry.>

I don't know exactly what the segfault means.  I do know that I had
problems compiling with Mandrake8.1, but I got it done eventually.

A simple reason the compile may start off successfully but fail in the
middle is that the library is not called in the first couple dozen files
the compile accesses.   I don't know this.   I am merely speculating. =20

From your posted output:

g++ -I. -I./CXX/Include -I/usr/local/include/python2.2
-I/usr/local/include/python2.2/Numeric -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT
-I/usr/X11R6/include -w   -c -o convex.o convex.cpp
In file included from pvector.h:6,
                 from cvisual.h:6,
                 from display.h:5,
                 from arrprim.h:5,
                 from convex.cpp:2:
CXX/Include/CXX_Objects.h:1039: Internal error: Segmentation fault.

Are all the paths above correct?  ie... does
/usr/local/include/python2.2/Numeric exist?  What is being called at
line 1039 in CXX_Objects.h? =20

Sorry to be grasping at straws.    I did not do this on Mandrake8.2, and
my mandrake box is at home.
