[Numpy-discussion] "GC object already in linked list" error when testall.test()

[Tina Li]

Hello,

I installed numarray on a RedHat 8.0 with Python 2.2.1. The build completed
fine, but it failed when I tried to testall.test(). Here is the output:

------------------------------------------------------------

numarray.memorytest:                    (0, 16)
Fatal Python error: GC object already in linked list

------------------------------------------------------------

Seems like a garbage collector problem. That's all I can tell. I installed
using "python setup.py install --gencode --prefix=<installation directory>"
and then "export PYTHONPATH". Does anyone have a clue how this can be fixed?

Thanks!
