Currently psutil won't compile on Solaris 10:

[psutil@nitrogen/ttypts/1(~/psutil)%] python setup.py build 
/opt/csw/lib/python/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution

error: command '/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc' failed with exit status 1


According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) Solaris 11 
appeared in late 2010 so I suppose there's a lot of Solaris 10 installations 
out there. Definitively looks like a platform we want to support.

this error just means you don't have the Sun compiler installed. you can build 
the shared object files with gcc. I had to do it manually because python (and 
therefore pycc) is expecting to use the sun C compiler and therefore uses 
options like -KPIC which don't work.

here are the gcc commands i used to build the shared libraries:

    gcc -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c psutil/_psutil_sunos.c -o 
build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/psutil/_psutil_sunos.o

    gcc -L. -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -G 
build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/psutil/_psutil_sunos.o -L/usr/lib -lkstat 
-lnsl -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/_psutil_sunos.so

    gcc  -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c psutil/_psutil_posix.c -o 
build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/psutil/_psutil_posix.o

    gcc -L. -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -G 
build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/psutil/_psutil_posix.o -L/usr/lib -lpython2.6 
-o build/lib.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/_psutil_posix.so
