Problem w/ Python 2.3.5

[Toni Mueller-7]

Hi,

finally, I broke down and installed some X11 stuff on a server in the
hope to gain PIL there... but first, I need to rebuild Python (re-run
after the same breakage):


hostname 11:42:23 /home/obsd/ports/lang/python/2.3

I've made sure to have only OPENBSD_3_8 tagged stuff on that box.


Any ideas?

Not reproducible on my system (3.8-stable/i386) - python-2.3.5p2 builds
fine. (Do note that this is under /usr/ports, and as root.)

Try to find a more detailed error log. Are you certain your hardware
works as expected?

thanks for your message. In the meantime, I think I found out that this
means "interrupted system call", and no, I don't have any better error
messages.

Well... that's what I'm not sure about right now, too. The box is
otherwise mostly idle, and has been reliable except for this problem
now. Any ideas on how to check it?

Hmmm... is this crash reproducible on your box? If so, you might want to
use ktrace. It will give you gobs of data, but is likely to also tell
you exactly what syscall was interrupted, which is likely to give you a
hint.

You'll want to either snip very carefully or host the file someplace; if
neither is possible, you can send it to me via private mail, but keeping
it on the list is more likely to yield sensible results.

If it's memory, it's likely to be found by memtest86, if your hardware
is i386. It can be had from various sources, and is included on the
Knoppix CD, which I can recommend - it's not OpenBSD, but occasionally
very useful.

with PIL you are referring to the python imaging library, right?
this is available as a package (py-Imaging).
is there a reason why you cannot use packages?

"broke down and installed some X11 stuff" sounds pretty vague.

www.Memtest86.com also offers bootable ISOs.  No Knoppix required.

Hello Steve,

yes, the reason is that I need Plone 2.1.1 which in turn requires PIL
1.1.5, not 1.1.4 which is in ports. In most cases, when the updated
package is mostly reflected in new version numbers in the Makefile, and
a new distinfo, this is not a problem.

> "broke down and installed some X11 stuff" sounds pretty vague.

By this I meant that I installed the xbase38.tgz, xetc38.tgz and
xshare38.tgz which I normally don't install. Unfortunately, the PIL port
can't easily be built w/o tk which in turn requires X11.

did you use ldconfig to add /usr/X11R6/lib? this should be done
automatically by rc(8) on reboot.

anyway, this is not really supported. you could consider -current which
has both PIL 1.1.5 and plone 2.1.1.
