Hi ,

Iam building Python-2.4.3 on HP-UX 11.2i , while
testing its npt able import the _bsddb.sl module and
hence that is skipped . In previous versions the test
is passing. what can be done to pass the test?.

Thanks,
shashi

The test can't pass without being able to import _bsddb.sl.
Why can't this file be imported? When you build python it
should print out what version of bsddb is found. It will
look something like this:

running build
running build_ext
db.h: found (4, 1) in /usr/include
db lib: using (4, 1) db-4.1

What version of bsddb was found on your box? Are there
compile errors when building bsddb?

Hi,
I am having db-4.4.20 installed, It looks like Python
doesn't support 4.4.20 version , hence i built 4.2.52 , now
I am getting segmentation fault (memory fault) and its
dumping core . I want to know the versions of the
dependent libraries Python-2.4.3 supports and also while
testing the Python test_subprocess.py is also dumping core.
I am sending out the outputs of test_bsddb and
test_subprocess.

Thanks,
shashi

Support for db-4.4 was added late. I believe the only thing
you need to do to enable it is modify setup.py, line 496
(proabably that line) should be:
max_db_ver = (4, 4)

From what I've seen, you are much better off with newer
versions of bdb.

As for the seg faults, I wonder if your ulimits are too low.
What is the output of: ulimit -a

Also, can you attach the output of ./python
Lib/test/regrtest.py -v -u bsddb test_subprocess

and do the same for test_bsddb3 (or test_bsddb whichever is
crashing).

I guess this isn't a valid issue, then?

[birkenfeld]

Seems like that's the case.
