build 64bit python on Solaris

[Jhy-Chun Wang]

Hi,

I am tying to build a 64bit python 2.3.3 on Solaris, but getting the
following error:

Any idea what went wrong? what configuration/compiler options should I
use to build a 64bit python on Solaris?

Any help is very appreciated.

As a starting point, try using a 32-bit Python. There is no advantage
in using a 64-bit Python I can see.

If you must have a 64-bit Python, try turning off the optimization in
your compiler, and make sure you have the latest compiler patches
applied.

I need to load 64bit C++ modules, will 32bit python do the work? I did
try -g alone, but still failed with the same error.

Thanks,

No, in that case, you will need a 64-bit version.

Something is wrong in your system (it might be Python, it might be your
system). However, I cannot start guessing what it might be. So you need
to use a debugger and find out why it crashes. It looks like it is a
problem with memory management, so be prepared for very long debugging
sessions.

Good luck,
Martin
