Hi,
I am trying to install Zorp in my Compaq desktop, running RedHat 9.0.
Recently i upgraded the kernel to 2.4.22, from 2.4.20-6, to be able to use the TPROXY.
I got most of the steps through. But i am stuck in getting the Python Ext class 1.2 installed, since there appears to be some compatibility issues, in the thread.h file.
I remember having a bad type reference in the pthread implementation of python-extclass, try grabbing the source package from our pool directory and recompile it for RedHat. The URL is: http://www.balabit.hu/downloads/zorp/zorp-os/pool/p/python-extclass/ the .diff.gz contains the patch necessary to compile python-extclass. Alternatively you could also check out the extclass distribution bundled with Zope, and maybe you can find precompiled binaries for your distribution as well.
RedHat 9 comes with Python 2.2, whereas the Zorp INSTALL file suggests Python 1.5 or 2.1. Can i assume 2.2 is ok for Zorp?
We are experiencing with Python 2.3 and it generally seems to be ok, thus I assume Python2.2 is fine.
RedHat 9 does not come with PythonExtClass. So i downloaded the SRPM from rpmfind.net, for python-extclass-1.2_1. I am getting build problems around the ThreadLock.c and thread.h file. I also see a ThreadLock.c.orig file, and the difference between the two is the way in which thread.h is included, and some definitions.
I tried copying the orig file back to .c and then also i continue to get compilation errors.
Please quote the compilation output so we might be able to help. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
