Python 2.3.3 compilation problems an HP-UX

[Olaf Meyer]

I'm having some problems compiling Python 2.3.3 on HP-UX (B.11.00).
I've tried sevral different options for the configure script (e.g.
enabling/disabling gcc, aCC) but I always get the same problem during
the final linking stage. Several PyThread_* symbols are undefined (for
details see the output below).

In order to get DCOracle2 support working I've also set the LDFLAGS
environment variable to "-lpthread -lcl" (as mentioned in the
README.HP-HX file).

I would really appreciate any advice!

Here's the output of the final stage of my build process:

I'd suggest that you look at the recent threads about compiling for
HP-UX on python-dev. It's starting to look like a SIG might be a good
way to go.

Thanks for pointing me there. It seems that there's some clean-up needed
for HP-UX. Luckily compiling 2.2.1 works fine for me, so I think I'll
stick with it until the 2.3 versions compile with HP-UX 'out-of-the-box' ;-)

Hmm. The 2.3 versions compile out of the box on *some* versions of
HP-UX, because Anthony and I did it, on the Compaq testdrive machines.
But I think they're 11.20 or so. Bah.
