Since it is unlikely that we'll get further analysis on the cause of this problem, I'm closing the report now. Please try one of the 2.2 prereleases; if problems remain, please report them in a new bug report.

Okay, unassigning. Why I had it ? unsure. It probably dates back from the time I still had a RedHat box. I swapped them all with Debian and I live a much happier life as a result :-)

Can someone see if this is still a problem with current CVS (or even with 2.2a2)? I believe we've added another layer of patchwork around the bsddb compilation in setup.py.

Why does Thomas own this item? Thomas, if you don't want it, feel free to unassign it.

I have no trouble building the current CVS version on RedHat 7.1. However, when I try the gcc command given in the error message, I get much the same errors. The deciding difference was: setup.py (part of the standard current build process) adds -DHAVE_DB_185_H=1 to the compiler command line.

I suspect the problem here is that you don't have the appropriate -devel RPM installed. I think you need 'db3-devel', but 'db2-devel', 'db1-devel' or 'db-devel' might work too. Sorry, no. These RPMs seem to be installed by default on RedHat 7.1:

rpm -qa | grep devel | grep db

db1-devel-1.85-5 db2-devel-2.4.14-5 gdbm-devel-1.8.0-5 db3-devel-3.1.17-7

It would be nice if a Python developer could gain access to a RedHat 7.1 machine to sort this problem out :-)

Can you confirm that you have none of those installed ? I think what happens is that distutils can't find an include header to include, so it assumes the DB implementation is included in libc, instead. (Changing catagory to distutils on that assumption.)

Sorry about the confusion. My report is for RedHat 7.1:

  1. Untar the distribution 2.0.1c1
  2. ./configure
  3. make

The errors reported occur. I have changed nothing. I don't know what bsddb is, nor why it's getting compiled.

Hopefully, someone knowing Python 2.0.1 and having access to a RedHat 7.1 box could look into the problem. At this point Python building seems broken on RH7.1 :-(

Please report the following things: - the line in Setup that you activated to enable compilation of bsddb - the exact version of the bsddb RPM package that provides db.h - whether or not this packages includes a file db185.h

Sorry, I didn't change ANYTHING ! I was trying a vanilla build on RedHat 7.1 ! Should be easy to repeat... Maybe the build scripts make some incorrect choices on RedHat 7.1 ?
