problem compiling on SGI IRIX 6.5
Hi: I've just downloaded Distutils 0.1.3 and tried to compile it on my SGI IRIX 6.5 machine. I am using python 1.5.1. Here is what I got: proteus:/p12/src/Distutils-0.1.3) python setup.py install running install Traceback (innermost last): File "setup.py", line 13, in ? setup (name = "Distutils", File "distutils/core.py", line 102, in setup raise SystemExit, "error: %s: %s" % (exc.filename, exc.strerror) AttributeError: filename What is wrong and how do I fix this? By the way, I just signed up to be on this list but have not received the confirmation yet so please reply back to me personally to be sure that I am getting your responses. Cheers, Mona

I use IRIX 6.5 also. I'm not sure why you're getting your error, but I seem to remember that there was some issue with Python 1.5.1 and Distutils. If you upgrade to Python 1.5.2, some bugs get fixed. Try that. -- Curtis Jensen cjensen@be-research.ucsd.edu http://www-bioeng.ucsd.edu/~cjensen/ FAX (425) 740-1451

There are other known problems with Distutils on Python 1.5.1, so fixing this might just reveal other problems. Nevertheless..

Oddly enough, the line *right* before where this exception was raised is the following: # is this 1.5.2-specific? 1.5-specific? I think you may have answered my question: IOError objects only have 'filename' (and 'strerror'?) attributes since 1.5.2. Grumble. Here's a quick, dirty, completely-off-the-top-of-my-head patch that might fix *this* problem. If you fix whatever is causing the IOError, though, you'll probably blow up on an 'apply()' somewhere where I pass a list instead of a tuple, another 1.5.2 feature. Grumble^2. *** core.py.orig Thu Feb 17 19:36:20 2000 --- core.py Thu Feb 17 22:48:51 2000 *************** *** 99,106 **** except KeyboardInterrupt: raise SystemExit, "interrupted" except IOError, exc: ! # is this 1.5.2-specific? 1.5-specific? ! raise SystemExit, "error: %s: %s" % (exc.filename, exc.strerror) # setup () --- 99,110 ---- except KeyboardInterrupt: raise SystemExit, "interrupted" except IOError, exc: ! # arg, try to work with Python pre-1.5.2 ! if hasattr (exc, 'filename') and hasattr (exc, 'strerror'): ! raise SystemExit, \ !

Oh well, it's worth a shot. Greg -- Greg Ward - Linux weenie gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ Beware of altruism. It is based on self-deception, the root of all evil.
