Problem installing module readline for Python2.3a1 on SGI

[Alexandre Gillet]

Hi,

I have a problem compilling and installing the readline module with
Python2.3a1 on SGI irix 6.5.
(I was able to compile python2.3a1)

Here is the error I am getting:
cc -DNDEBUG -O -OPT:Olimit=0 -I. -I../Include
-I/mgl/prog/share/include/ -c ../Modules/readline.c -o Modules/readline.o

cc-1119 cc: ERROR File = ../Modules/readline.c, Line = 542
The "return" expression type differs from the function return type.

return completion_matches(text, *on_completion);
^

cc-1552 cc: WARNING File = ../Modules/readline.c, Line = 686
The variable "m" is set but never used.

PyObject *m;
^

1 error detected in the compilation of "../Modules/readline.c".
*** Error code 2

Any ideas how I can get it to work.

Thanks

What version of readline do you have installed?

I *think* just waiting for 2.3a2 might do it. If anon CVS was
working, I'd ask you to try that...

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I will wait for 2.3a2 and try it.
I have readline 4.3

Are you using the readline module from freeware.sgi.com or did you
compile from sources? The freeware version works fine for me (just
remember to edit Modules/Setup to add -L/usr/freeware/lib{32,64} for the
linkage) on Indy, Octane, Origin2000, Origin200, O2, Origin300 with
6.5.17-18.

Oh, then you weren't suffering the issues I thoguht you might be and I
doubt 2.3a2 will be different. I hope Christos "TZOTZIOY" Georgiou's
post helped you.

Thanks for using the nick too :), but it's not necessary. It's just
that it's a unique nick in the net, so if I want to search for anything
written by me in the web or in any newsgroup, I can narrow the search
efficiently. (My first name is quite common, and my last name is kind
of "Georgeson", "McGeorge", "Jurgens[eo]n"... you get the point.)

tzot, which is a shorter derivative and I use it as a username in many
*nix systems, is not unique... its a word in Witness (a made up language
AFAIK), it was also a word in Mayan.

Well, I wasn't sure of the spelling so I just copied & pasted from the
From: line. So it would have been more work to take it out :)
