I've been spending the night trying to get Zope to compile on my system. It is an Intel based Solaris 8 box. I'm (now), using Python 2.1.2. I've poked and prodded at it every which way I can think of, but always end up with the following error: gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../Components/ExtensionClass/src -c ././cPersistence.c -o ./cPersistence.o gcc -shared ./cPersistence.o -o ./cPersistence.so ld: warning: global symbol `_DYNAMIC' has non-global binding: (file /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.0.1/../../../libgcc_s.so value=LOCL); ld: warning: global symbol `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_' has non-global binding: (file /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.0.1/../../../libgcc_s.so value=LOCL); gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../Components/ExtensionClass/src -c ././cPickleCache.c -o ./cPickleCache.o gcc -shared ./cPickleCache.o -o ./cPickleCache.so ld: warning: global symbol `_DYNAMIC' has non-global binding: (file /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.0.1/../../../libgcc_s.so value=LOCL); ld: warning: global symbol `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_' has non-global binding: (file /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.0.1/../../../libgcc_s.so value=LOCL); gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../Components/ExtensionClass/src -DUSE_EXTENSION_CLASS -c ././TimeStamp.c -o ./TimeStamp.o Assembler: TimeStamp.c "/var/tmp/ccHjoJfg.s", line 1003 : Illegal mnemonic "/var/tmp/ccHjoJfg.s", line 1003 : Syntax error "/var/tmp/ccHjoJfg.s", line 1003 : Illegal mnemonic make: *** [TimeStamp.o] Error 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "wo_pcgi.py", line 45, in ?
