Thread: python bug
I saw this in the python source setup.py:
include_dirs=['/usr/include/pgsql'] library_dirs=['usr/lib/pgsql'] ^^^
optional_libs=['pq'] data_files = []
Is the lack of a leading slash correct?

No. It should really be library_dirs=['/usr/lib/pgsql'] *But* is this really the default place where PostgreSQL installs its libraries? I thought this was rather /usr/local/lib? If anybody wants to improve the setup.py part of PyGreSQL, I'd recommend you take a look at the setup.py file for our altnernative PostgreSQL/Python adapter: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pypgsql/pypgsql/setup.py?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup We recently put considerable effort in to make pyPgSQL build out of the box on many platforms (Debian, SuSE, Redhat Linux, FreeBSD, OpenUnix, Windows, MacOS X, Cygwin plus untested support for a few other platforms). And of course pyPgSQL is licensed under a liberal BSD-like license as well :-) Btw. another question. I noticed that a few interfaces (Perl comes to mind) have been moved out of the PostgreSQL tree to gborg. Maybe it'd be a good idea to do that for PyGreSQL as well? -- Gerhard
Fix applied. I think we will be moving python and tcl out of /interfaces to gborg for 7.4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerhard Haering wrote: > * Bruce Momjian <pgman@candle.pha.pa.us> [2002-12-14 20:50 -0500]: > > I saw this in the python source setup.py: > > > > include_dirs=['/usr/include/pgsql'] > > library_dirs=['usr/lib/pgsql'] > > ^^^ > > optional_libs=['pq'] > > data_files = [] > > > > Is the lack of a leading slash correct? > > No. > > It should really be > > library_dirs=['/usr/lib/pgsql'] > > *But* is this really the default place where PostgreSQL installs its > libraries?
