you cannot statically link glibc and libffi is compiled without -fPIC on debian/ubuntu to make it harder
To summarize: it's an infinite amount of mess that we are running away from. If someone, anyone, feels like helping --- and is ready to put in the necessary amount of work, including never-ending future work --- then in this case I'd be happy to leave him the job of correctly configuring "tannit", the machine we use. Otherwise, people with different distributions will have to wait for the next release to be packaged for their distribution. Or else find themselves a machine with sufficient RAM and 1-2 free hours, which is not that hard any more IMHO. It is documented how to get a "squeezed" translation (for 30% more time) in 1.6GB of RAM (32-bit) or 3.0GB of RAM (64-bit) at http://pypy.org/download.html#building-from-source . A bientôt, Armin.
