[egenix-users] mx.DateTime:Solaris:gcc3.2:problem on import

[Donna Hanlon]

Hi,

When I build egenix-mx-base-2.0.3.tar.gz on SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-14
sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 using gcc 3.2, using python 2.1.3, setup
seems to go fine.  It builds and installs smoothly.  But when I import
mx.DateTime, python crashes:

Python 2.1.3 (#1, Nov 18 2002, 11:16:06) 
[GCC 3.2] on sunos5
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mx.DateTime
*** You don't have the (right) mxDateTime binaries installed !
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "mx/DateTime/__init__.py", line 8, in ?
    from DateTime import *
  File "mx/DateTime/DateTime.py", line 9, in ?
    from mxDateTime import *
  File "mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/__init__.py", line 13, in ?
    raise ImportError, why
ImportError: No module named mxDateTime
>>> 

But if I rebuild egenix-mx-base-2.0.3.tar.gz using exactly the same
steps, except using gcc 2.95 instead of 3.2, it works fine -- no
problems at all.

Since I have a working version, this is not at all urgent, as far as I
am concerned.  I would be happy to try troubleshooting the problem, but
I'm not handy at all with either gdb or pdb.

Thanks,

Donna
