[oi-dev] pkg5 question

[John Center]

Hi,

While testing the new pkg5 build on S10/sparc, the test fails:

# python setup.py test
running test
Segmentation Fault - core dumped
Segmentation Fault - core dumped
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "run.py", line 60, in <module>
     cov = pkg5testenv.setup_environment("../../proto", covdir=covdir)
   File "./pkg5testenv.py", line 124, in setup_environment
     import pkg5unittest
   File "./pkg5unittest.py", line 66, in <module>

     import pkg.actions
   File 
"/opt/ws/gate/proto/root_sparc/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/pkg/actions/__init__.py", 
line 187, in <module>
     from _actions import _fromstr
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file 
/opt/ws/gate/proto/root_sparc/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/pkg/actions/_actions.so: 
symbol strndup: referenced symbol not found


_actions.so calls strndup(), which doesn't exist on S10.  (Does S11 have 
it now?)  I can add a strndup.c to fix this, but I'm not sure how to do 
it.  The pkg gate source doesn't use makefiles for the modules 
directory, it looks like setup.py does the compiling & linking itself, 
so I'm not sure what gets added where.  If anyone has a clue how to add 
this in & have it built, I'd greatly appreciate the help.  Otherwise, 
I'll have to paste the function into _actions.c.

Thanks.
