    2.3.2 Installation Problems

    Hello,
    Just downloaded the 2.3.2 bzip2 package and trying to install. When I run
    'make', I get the following error:
    .....
    .....
    running build
    running build_ext
    make: *** [sharedmods] Error 139

    $ uname -a
    Linux k.b.com 2.4.20-20.8 #1 Mon Aug 18 14:59:07 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386
    GNU/Linux

    $ gcc -v
    Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs
    Configured with:
    .../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
    --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --host=i386-redha
    t-linux --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
    Thread model: posix
    gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)

    I regularly build earlier versions on the same machine without problems,
    although I keep it(the system) current with up2date. Ideas, anyone (Also, I
    am installing to my home directory with --prefix=/home/me passed to
    configure, if that matters)?

    TIA,
    PyUser

      Do you have any more output than that? I presume the Python executable
      itself built okay? If so, does "./python Lib/test/regrtest.py" reveal any
      problems besides lots of skipped tests because no extension modules have
      been built?

      Does building from the .tgz file give you the same problem? There should be
      no functional difference between the two, but since you mentioned it, I
      thought I would check to be sure you weren't somehow attributing the problem
      to the bzip2 package.

          Yes, the Py executable is built. I can import sys, os, string etc. But fails
          for
          socket, for example (Can't import _socket - as expected).

          It doesn't get far; the first import of random fails, failing to import
          math. It's checking
          correctly in the new locations once I set the PYTHONHOME variable.

          Didn't try the .tgz. I just mentioned the package I tried as extra
          information. I'll dig around
          a bit more.

              I am in the midst of building from the 2.3.2 bzip2 file on my Mac OS X
              system. It's gone well past the point it apparently crapped out on you (in
              the midst of building a large number of Mac-specific modules at the
              moment). I doubt there's anything related to the bzip2 file itself.

              Had you tried 2.3.1? The changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 were very small.
              If the older version built for you, I'd be real surprised to discover the
              newer version didn't.

                  That looks like it exited in response to a SIGSEV.

                  Run "ulimit -c unlimited" and see if you get a core file?
