For AIX 4.2 and later, a period "." is required on the +first line after "#!". If python crashes while importing a shared +library, you can try modifying the LINKCC variable in the Makefile. +It probably looks like this: + + LINKCC= $(srcdir)/Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp \"\" $(LIBRARY); $(PURIFY) $(CXX) + +You should modify the \"\" to be a period: + + LINKCC= $(srcdir)/Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp . $(LIBRARY); $(PURIFY) $(CXX) + +Using a period fixed the problem in the snake farm. YMMV. +After testing with different versions of AIX, a fix should +be checked in. Hopefully, this fix be incorporated into Python 2.3. + ============================================================================== |
