Psyco & Linux

[Fausto Arinos Barbuto]

Hi All;

I have Psyco (on Windows XP) and now I want to install it on Linux, too.
I FTP'd the tarball (tar.gz) from Psyco's site but can't get it compiled.
First, I tried the usual "python setup.py install" but that did not work.
I later found a RPM for Psyco but it wasn't suitable to the Linux version
I'm currently using.

Has any of you had a similar experience? If so, how did you manage
to solve the problem (in the case that you did)? Before one asks, I
must say that I'm trying to build the package as the super user (root).
:-)

The specifics of my system are:

Athlon AMD-64 3300+
SuSE 9.3 Professional (64-bit)
Python 2.4
gcc/g++ 3.3.5

Thanks in advance for any help.

How exactly did it fail? Perhaps you can paste the error output from
this command.

Sure, he is the output:

Ummm... I thought psyco only supported 32 bit systems. I haven't seen
anything else to suggest otherwise. See

http://psyco.sourceforge.net/psycoguide/req.html

Maybe you could recompile your python in 32 bit mode. You may find that
native 64 bit python is faster than 32 bit psyco however!

You're probably right. I will try to compile psyco on another
32-bit Linux box I have.

When properly designed, scripts using Psyco are so much faster
than the original code that I doubt native 64-bit Python can
defeat it in terms of speed. A fair benchmark though could
only be carried out if I had a 64-bit version of Psyco. I
guess I 'll have to wait for one.

Thanks for your reply.

The first error output by gcc suggests the 64-bit OS might be the
problem. But I don't actually know what that error means.
