Python and Solaris 10

[Layne Meier]

I'm having a bit of a problem trying to install Python on a Solaris 10
system. I didn't have this kind of problem when trying to install it
on Solaris 8.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've tried adding CC=gcc
into the configure script, and have also tried running ./configure
--with-gcc with no luck. I appears that this is dead set to using c++
which isn't working.

MAILBOT:root:8: Python-2.4.2:# ./configure
checking MACHDEP... sunos5
checking EXTRAPLATDIR...
checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for --with-cxx=<compiler>. .. no
checking for c++... c++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C++ compiler works... configure: error: cannot run
C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

I know this is sort of long, but here's the config log.

"config.log " 232 lines, 5017 characters
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by python configure 2.4, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I've built it with both GCC and Sun Studio compilers.

Try adding /usr/sfw/bin to your path.

Or set CC=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc

[Layne Meier]

I get the same result.

It looks like it is finding c++ in /usr/local/bin. Is that the compiler
you want to use?

I was assuming you want to use the Sun provided GCC located in
/usr/sfw/bin.

Try

CC=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/sfw/bin/g++ ./configure

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This works so much better.
