Re: [Numpy-discussion] numpy build fails on powerpc ydl
Oliphant:
Would you be willing to help get the config.h file set up correctly?
Yes. I thought it was automatic, tho. What to do? me:
Its kernel is 2.4.19-Asmp tailored by the vendor.
Harris:
Which vendor?
Curtiss-Wright Controls, back when they were called Synergy. Harris:
Ancient.... Curtiss-Wright now supports Linux and kernel 2.6.16 on some of their newer hardware
The military ends up supporting ancient systems for a long time. I don't think I have the option of upgrading the OS on these beasts, especially when it involves a new binary format. That would be nice, tho, especially if it made it possible to run subversion. Harris:
Any more detail on these? What causes the conflict. I've got to wonder about the the libc/libm versions also. Does the include file math.h say anything about the prototypes for these functions? I expect cosl et.al. to be potential problems on the PPC anyway due to the way long doubles were implemented.
"grep -r sinl /usr/include" finds nothing. math.h defines sin and sinf with various underscores attached, using token pasting, but no mention of sinl. Similarly for fabs and cos which I checked. Harris:
What is the PPC model number?
The CWC VSS4 contains four powerpc G4's, the 7400. Vincent Broman
