[Distutils] distutils+numpy problem on AIX

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 18:52:44 +0200

Hello,

Does anyone know why I might get the following messages when trying to use 
distutils 0.8 to install NumPy on an AIX machine?

   unable to execute ./ld_so_aix: No such file or directory
   error: command './ld_so_aix' failed with exit status 1

Background:
My goal is to get Python 1.5.2 running with NumPy for the users of our SP at 
the Royal Institute of Technology.  I recently downloaded NumPy from LLNL:
   LLNLDistribution11.tgz and 
   Numerical-14.tar.gz

According to <ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/python/README.html> one is 
supposed to replace the Numerical part of the 11 distribution with the 14 one.
I did this and then went to the Numerical subdirectory to install it. 
Following the suggestion in the README.txt in the distribution of 
Distutils-0.8, I replaced the setup.py file in Numerical with the one that 
comes in the examples directory of Distutils-0.8.  When I ran python (1.5.2) 
with this, I get the messages below.  Does anyone have any idea what might be 
going wrong?

Notes: Python 1.5.2 seems to test fine on our SP (AIX 4.3).  I installed it in 
a non-standard place (my directory) for testing.

By the way, after this failure, I tried to just install NumPy strickly from 
LLNL's "11" distribution, using makethis.py.  I get a different, but similar 
message,
