Hi Brian, That worked. I couldn't figure out what make was looking for so I added -rdynamic to the Makefile.pre.in in the /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in file. Hopefully this won't cause problems for other modules - yes? After that I just re-ran the wo_pcgi.py script and it worked fine. The ld command was already trying to produce .so files so I didn't have to rename them. Thanks a lot. Chris

Hi Chris,

Building shared libs on BSDI tends to be a pain - here's what I've had to do in the past on BSDI-ish systems:

o add -rdynamic to LDSHARED in all of the Makefiles

o run make -k and ignore any error messages

o I seem to remember that this produced extensions as .o files on some platforms, which I then had to rename to .so, though on others the .so files were generated ok.

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

Try again with a better message title.

I'm trying to build Zope 2b1 on a BSDI 3.1 system. I get linker errors when I try to build using the w_pcgi.py and wo_pcgi.py scripts (same error). It's obviously not finding something but I can't tell what it is looking for.

TIA,

Chris Baron
