AIX 5.3 - Enabling Shared Library Support Vs Extensions

[Anurag Chourasia]

All,

When I configure python to enable shared libraries, none of the
extensions are getting built during the make step due to this error.

building 'cStringIO' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I/u01/home/apli/wm/GDD/Python-2.6.6/./Include -I.
-IInclude -I./Include -I/opt/freeware/include

./Modules/ld_so_aix gcc -pthread -bI:Modules/python.exp

-L/usr/local/lib *-lpython2.6* -o build/lib.aix-5.3-2.6/cStringIO.so
*collect2: library libpython2.6 not found*

building 'cPickle' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I/u01/home/apli/wm/GDD/Python-2.6.6/./Include -I.

-L/usr/local/lib *-lpython2.6* -o build/lib.aix-5.3-2.6/cPickle.so
*collect2: library libpython2.6 not found*

This is on AIX 5.3, GCC 4.2, Python 2.6.6

I can confirm that there is a libpython2.6.a file in the top level
directory from where I am doing the configure/make etc

Here are the options supplied to the configure command

./configure --enable-shared --disable-ipv6 --with-gcc=gcc CPPFLAGS="-I
/opt/freeware/include -I /opt/freeware/include/readline -I
/opt/freeware/include/ncurses"

Please guide me in getting past this error.

Thanks for your help on this.

Regards,
Anurag
