Correction. Of course LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't seen by the compiler. It only applies at run time. How embarrasing:) This isn't the first time I've been bitten by that.
I don't mind doing that with manual builds, but what about with pip? Is there a way to avoid explicitly setting the library path every time you call pip, when using a custom python install?
why are you actually doing this?
the easiest way to get 32 bit binaries for any program is simply using a 32 bit chroot to build them. This is trivial to do on a debian based systems:
pbuilder-dist i386 unstable create pbuilder-dist i386 unstable login # install dependencies and build as usual _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
I'm on Centos 6, but I imagine it's not that hard there either. I am doing all this in a chroot, but it's 64 bit. The purpose is to use python (via cython) for testing libraries built on a 64 bit CentOS system. It's much faster than running all the tests directly in C, because I can do everything interactively in ipython. However, the libraries are built 32 bit. WIth the simpler components I can just rebuild them as 64-bit, but with others that gets pretty complicated. To use a more current version of Python on CentOS I have to build it myself, and the simplest way to keep it up to date is using pip. However, pip installs everything from source. I ran into trouble installing numpy, but I imagine I'd have similar problems with other packages. I figure I can set the necessary environment variables in the virtualenv, and then pip should work. Anyways, thanks for your help.
