RHEL comes with Python2.3 installed. A program I need to install
requires Python2.4
So I got Python2.4 from source and compiled it up. I configured it
with --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr and --enable-unicode=ucs4 . I
then make'd it and then make altinstall so that it didn't overwrite
the /usr/bin/Python link to /usr/bin/Python2.3 .
Well, for some reason, the arch dependent files did NOT get placed
properly in /usr/lib64/Python2.4, they instead went to
/usr/lib/Python2.4.
Also, when I tried to load pysqlite:
$ Python2.4
>>from pysqlite2 import test
I get the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 24, in ?
import glob, os, re, sys
File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/glob.py", line 4, in ?
import fnmatch

import sre_compile
File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/sre_compile.py" , line 17, in ?
assert _sre.MAGIC == MAGIC, "SRE module mismatch"
AssertionError: SRE module mismatch
This basically means to me that Python2.4 is loading gloab.py from
/usr/lib64/Python2.3 insead of /usr/lib/Python2.4 (even thought I
wanted to install the related files in /usr/lib64/Python2.4)
Can someome please help!

Can you please report what sys.path is? Do you have PYTHONPATH
set, by any chance? Python shouldn't normally look into the library
of a totally unrelated installation.

PYTHONPATH was the problem.
I had /usr/lib64/python2.3 included and that's why it was breaking. I
took it out and it works fine now. Unfortunately, it still puts the
lib files in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. I'm assuming all I need
to do is set libdir accordingly and the files will get put in
/usr/lib64. How do I then build the library files for 32bits?

Can you explain what "then" is? If you set libdir so that all files go
into /usr/lib64, why do want *then* that those library files are built
for 32bits? Shouldn't they be built for 64bits if they go to /usr/lib64?
In any case, you usually select the target architecture by either
selecting the right compiler, or the right compiler flags. Just set
CC to a 32-bit-compiler, and Python should be built as 32-bit binaries.
Regards,
Martin
Ok, so if I need to build the 32bit binaries, I just need to make sure
I pass the right argument through to the compiler then? (I'm trying
to build 32 bit and 64 bit binaries on the same system, but I'll wait
untill I get just the 64bit stuff built first before I tackle that)
Also, I've fooled around with passing --libdir=/usr/lib64 to the
configure script and for whatever reason, the Makefile isn't correctly
written. It always ends up copying the lib files to /usr/lib.
So I thought I'd manually edit the Makefile by editing the makefile on
lines 83 and 87 so they are now:
83: LIBDIR= $(exec_prefix)/lib64
87: SCRIPTDIR= $(prefix)/lib64
then:
make clean
make
make test
make altinstall
cd ..
python2.4
I get the following error message:
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
so then I edited /etc/profile and added
export PYTHONHOME="/usr"
then restarted and I got ride of the "Could not find platform
in/dependent libraries" errors but I still get the " 'import site'
failed " error.
I did a python2.4 -v and below is the output:
# installing zipimport hook
import zipimport # builtin
# installed zipimport hook
'import site' failed; traceback:
ImportError: No module named site
*** Now I'm lost ***
Just for sanity sakes I undid the changes to lines 83 & 87 of the make
file, did a "make clean", "make", "make test", "make altinstall",
"python2.4" followed by some goofing around and everything works fine.
So I'm guessing my manual edits of the makefile didn't go well. Any
idea what else I need to change?

Ah, I see. The reason is pretty simple: Makefile.pre.in has
LIBDIR= $(exec_prefix)/lib
so it seems that LIBDIR isn't configurable.

You will have to debug this (can't do right now); see Modules/getpath.c,
and the definition of PYTHONPATH. It seems this isn't really supported.

So you would agree that this is a bug? I'll post on Python-Dev for

I personally think this is a bug in AMD64-Linux. Libraries should
be stored in /usr/lib, binaries in /usr/bin, etc. If they need
simultaneous installation of 32-bit binaries for compatibility,
they should store them in architecture-specific directories.
I'll post on Python-Dev for
further advice. I'd like to fix this for the x86_64 community.
The x86_64 community has been using Python for a while, and
apparently has solved this problem already. You should try
to find out how they did it.
