cglpk cython compile error

[0xaf1f]

Hi,
I tried to install the latest version via pip and I get a compiler error on the cython file. When I run cobra after this installation, only glpk is in cobra.solvers (not cglpk).
Downloading cobra-0.3.0.tar.gz (2.3Mb): 2.3Mb downloaded
Running setup.py egg_info for package cobra

Do you also see this problem? I was getting this error before, but I needed QSOpt to work, so I had written my own interface to that solver using the regular glpk bindings.

Hello!

To help debug this, can you let me know:

1. What OS are you using?
2. What version of Cython?
3. What version of GLPK (and how was it installed)?

I'm sorry for the lack of information-- I was first just wondering if it was a simple syntax error that might be easily reproducible. I'm using Debian 7, Cython version 0.15.1, and GLPK v.4.45-- both installed through the package manager. I've never had any trouble using glpk with cobra before.

My suggestion is to update Cython. I use version 0.21.2

Ok, I just updated to Cython 0.19.1 through Debian stable backports and that solved the problem. Thanks for your prompt help!

No problem.
