[Python-Dev] PyConfig.h On Solaris

[John Abel]

Hi!

Just a quick update.  As a final attempt, before I implemented Martin's 
suggestion, I chaged the order of the includes.  Having Python.h last in 
the includes, solved everything (apart from a warning, about 
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS being redefined.  If it's already defined by the OS, 
does pyconfig.h have to define it?).  Is there somewhere to log things 
such as this?  Does it warrant a bug report?

Regards

John
