'make' error while installing Python2.3.4 !

Kanaflloric · 07-19-2004, 10:35 PM

I'm trying to upgrade from python 1.5 to 2.3 on Red Hat 7.
I have downloaded python 2.3.4.
The ./configure step seems good to me, but the 'make' step stops immediatly with this frightening message :

In file included from Include/Python.h:48,
from Modules/python.c:3:
Include/pyport.h:554:2: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config ?)."

It looks like a configure error, wich shouldn't happen, i think.

I have no idea what to do or what to look for...

Thanks for any idea !

you could try getting the latest gcc tools, as if yours are out of date it might cause an error of that nature. other than that im not sure.

Well, the problem was reported in python FAQ (I didn't saw it the first time): LONG_BIT error comes with RedHat 7 gcc package.

You're right : my gcc tools are out of date anyway. I'll upgrade RedHat.
