Would anyone be willing to help me interpret an error while trying to build and install Numpy? I've searched around, and haven't seen this elsewhere.
I've been running into this wall for about half the day now. I've tried reinstalling Python, using numpy 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.
I have Python 2.6.1, running on OS X 10.4.11, with a G4 PPC processor.
Here's the print out:
Ganymede:~/Desktop/numpy-1.2.1 username$ python setup.py build Running from numpy source directory. Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 96, in <module> setup_package() File "setup.py", line 68, in setup_package from numpy.distutils.core import setup File "/Users/username/Desktop/numpy/numpy/distutils/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> File "/Users/username/Desktop/numpy/numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py", line 11, in <module> File "/Users/username/Desktop/numpy/numpy/distutils/log.py", line 7, in <module> File "/Users/username/Desktop/numpy/numpy/distutils/misc_util.py", line 8, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/tempfile.py", line 34, in <module> from random import Random as _Random File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/random.py", line 871, in <module> _inst = Random() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/random.py", line 96, in __init__ self.seed(x) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/random.py", line 115, in seed super(Random, self).seed(a) SystemError: error return without exception set
Any ideas? I've had numpy/scipy installed in the past, but recently had to wipe everything and start from scratch. Everything should be pretty clean right now. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks, NJW

Have you tried setting the environment variable
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
before building?
I had not, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. By the way, I'm using gfortran 4.2.3 as I do this.

numpy 1.2 doesn't work with python 2.6. You'll either need to revert to python 2.5 or get the latest svn numpy (which still may have some python 2.6 glitches).

It looks unrelated to numpy. Can you import the random module in other situations?
Ah, no, I can't import it.
What does this mean? As far as I know, I built Python as instructed.

Well, looking at the C code for random_seed(), I don't see a way for it to return NULL without having an exception set (assuming that the Python API calls aren't buggy). Except maybe the assert() call in there. When you built your Python, are you sure that -DNDEBUG was being used?
To be honest, I really don't know. I followed the directions in /Mac/ README for a framework install.
How would I check this?
Thanks a lot for sticking with me,

Rebuild and look at the compiler command lines as they go by.

Another possibility for tracking down the problem would be to start up Python under gdb, add a breakpoint for the function random_seed() then step through. That would help you find out the code path that makes it return NULL without setting the exception.

Well, the gcc used to compiler Python is rather ancient and that gcc release by Apple has the reputation to be "buggier than a Florida swamp in July" and at least for building Sage it is blacklisted. So I would suggest updating gcc by using some more recent XCode and trying again.

I ended by giving up and grabbing the binary. I'll get 2.5 for Numpy too.
I did grab Xcode 2.5, which has gcc 4.0.1. I didn't feel up to manually doing a complete change to the latest gcc, at least while my needs are being met.
Thanks,
Nat
