Done, but it was assigned id 1212776. Anyways, I did what you said and it compiled fine. I ran the tests and no errors came up. Thanks! Gerald David M. Cooke wrote:

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:

building 'RNG.RNG' extension /usr/local/bin/gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O -fPIC -IInclude -IPackages/FFT/Include -IPackages/RNG/Include -I/export/00/gmanipon/sciflo/include/python2.4 -c Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c -o build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.4/Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.o Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c: In function `Mixranf': Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c:153: conflicting types for `gettimeofday' /usr/include/sys/time.h:390: previous declaration of `gettimeofday' Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c:153: warning: extern declaration of `gettimeofday' doesn't match global one error: command '/usr/local/bin/gcc' failed with exit status 1

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.
