Apparently to get rid of segfaults during the build we need the configure args to include BASECFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE that certainly fixes the python build errors. Now when we come to run the aged application we get this $ ./xxx.cgi Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rptlab/website/develop.reportlab.com/cgi-bin/xxx.cgi", line 7, in ? from fastwebapp import FastWebApp OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum this appears to be related to the use of a zip import. > sys.path.insert(0,os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"fastapp.zip")) > from fastwebapp import FastWebApp if we unpack the zip and remove the path insert the application appears to run fine. Googling appears to indicate that others have seen this error but on a different hardware and trying to remove optimizations from the python build has had variable success. Anyone had any real success with this problem? The last version of the test machinery ran 32bit freebsd and we had no problems on that hardware. -- Robin Becker
