<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am having a couple of issues compiling Python 2.5.1 under Sun Solaris Studio 11 on Solaris 8.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Everything compiles correctly except the _ctypes module because it cannot use the libffi that comes with Python and it does not exist on the system.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Has anyone gotten it to compile correctly using Studio 11? I know it will compile under GCC but I am not allowed to use GCC.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, during the pyexpat tests, Python generates a segfault. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Are there any patches to fix these?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you,</FONT>
