Hi!

I am trying to install pyswisseph
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyswisseph) extension on my x86_64 system,
but building of extension fails with:

Swiss Ephemeris homepage: http://www.astro.com/swisseph

Now Python 3 compatible (experimental).

Usage example:

>>> import swisseph as swe
>>> swe.set_ephe_path('/usr/share/ephe') # set path to ephemeris files
>>> now = swe.julday(2007,3,3) # get Julian day number
>>> res = swe.lun_eclipse_when(now) # find next lunar eclipse (from now on)
>>> ecltime = swe.revjul(res[1][0]) # get date UTC
>>> ecltime
(2007, 3, 3, 23.347975596785545)
>>> jd = swe.julday(2008,3,21)
>>> swe.calc_ut(jd, swe.AST_OFFSET+13681)[0] # asteroid Monty Python
0.098474291148756998
>>> help(swe)

Installation via: # python setup.py install

I'm quite new (just started learning Python) with Python and its tools,
but, afaik, "recompile with -fPIC" means that something is missing so
that extension is not compiled properly.

I use:

[gour at nitai pyswisseph-1.74.00-0] gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang \
--enable-threads=posix --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-__cxa_atexit \
--disable-multilib --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--enable-clocale=gnu --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-tune=generic
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.1 20080724 (prerelease) (GCC)

on:

[gour at nitai pyswisseph-1.74.00-0] uname -a
Linux nitai 2.6.25-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 14 14:56:27 UTC 2008 \
x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile ML-34 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


Any idea?


Sincerely,
Gour
