Hello,
I compiled python 2.4.1 on a solaris 2.8 box using gcc 3.2.3. When I try to build Numeric 24.0b2, I get this error:

Has anyone encountered this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Could you add this as a bug to the bug tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=1369&atid=101369 and assign it to me (dmcooke)? That ranf.c file is full of platform-specific tweaks for handling the time, which shouldn't be necessary (really, if it wants the time, it should use the Python time module). I'd just edit Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c, and delete the declaration of gettimeofday. From what I could google about Solaris's gettimeofday, I think it'll work. -- |>|\/|< /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |David M.
