Hi,

I'm having problems installing visual python on Fedora 12 (64-bit).

Here are the steps I've taken:
- downloaded visual python 5.32
- ran ./configure without problems
- ran make and got this error:

Compiling ./core/util/atomic_queue.cpp
make[1]: *** [atomic_queue.lo] Error 1

(From src/build.log):
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with '--tag'

Any ideas on this, guys?

If you added anything compiler specific in your configure line,
you may get errors like ""... specify a tag with '--tag' ""

The following works (( Fedora 12 - 32 Bits was used.))
cd /usr/lib64
# ln -s libboost_thread-mt.so libboost_thread.so
exit

cd visual-5.32_release/
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool...12-1.1.diff.gz
patch -p1 < python-visual_5.12-1.1.diff
patch -p1 < debian/patches/1002_unquieten_compile.patch
patch -p1 < debian/patches/1003_include_python_header.patch
patch -p1 < debian/patches/2000_boost_python_workaround.patch

cd ../ && mkdir build-Vpython-532
cd build-Vpython-532/ && ../visual-5.32_release/configure
&& make

......

May be some hints in this other Vpython thread ..

Hi knudfl,

I reinstalled with Fedora 12 (32-bit) and did all the steps you mentioned. I got this message when runnning:
patch -p1 < debian/patches/1002_unquieten_compile.patch

patches/1002_unquieten_compile.patch
patching file src/Makefile.in
Hunk #1 FAILED at 176.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 200.
2 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/Makefile.in.rej

I proceeded with the rest of your instruction. When I try to run make, I still get the same error message:

(From src/build.log):
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with '--tag'

Any other ideas?

Did you read the post / thread, linked to in post #2 ?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tagged-787278/

No extra configure options, please. Except for '--prefix='.

Please show your complete configure line.


By the way : No problems with 64 Bits : All Vpython versions
build OK on Slackware 13 - 64.

Vpython

Fedora 11 - 64 , with python-2.6-7.fc11.x86_64

cd /usr/include/
ln -s ../lib64/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy
cd /usr/lib64/
ln -s libboost_thread-mt.so libboost_thread.so

Same as post # 4 : No errors, versions 5.12 , 5.22 , 5.32.
