Hi There,
I just tried to add SGI running IRIX6.5 to the collection of Unix boxes I will support and I ran into the following problem:
If I compile Python -O2 loading the Numeric extensions dumps the core, if I compile Python -g it works just fine and this regardless if Numeric is compile -g or -O2.
After I re-compiled Objects/complexobject.o using -g (everything else being compiled -O2) I got it to work ...
did anyone else out there see this kind of behavior ?
I saw exactly this behavior just last Friday afternoon. After all of Python was recompiled with -g the bus error went away. Thanks for pointing out that only complexobject needs to be compiled with -g. It didn't occur to me to try this, despite the location of the bus error, because it was possible to exercise complex objects interactively w. no problems. BTW I don't know whether you were compiling N32 or N64. In our case N32 created the bus error. -- Mitch Chapman mitch.chapman@mciworld.com
