Hello all,
Has anyone had any success getting plpython to compile successfully for
PostgreSQL? I am running OS 10.2.8, MacPython 2.3.2, and am working
with PostgreSQL 7.4beta4. I've also tried with 7.3.4, and ran into
even uglier errors -- it claims there's a syntax error in
/usr/include/math.h -- so I stopped and tried with the latest beta.
My results are somewhat frustrating, as I seem to be running into a
problem with linking in the shared version of the Python library. I
have set LDFLAGS to '-u __dummy -u_PyMac_Error -framework System
-framework Python -framework CoreServices -framework Foundation', as
per the Python documentation's advice (>>>import distutils.sysconfig,
>>>distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('LINKFORSHARED'). I have set my
PATH to include /usr/local/bin, so as to find my updated python first.
My ./configure options are straight-forward, './configure --with-perl
--with-python --with-rendezvous --with-openssl --without-readline', and
seem to work just fine. I'm suspicious of the last line, though. The
relevant output is:
checking for python... /usr/local/bin/python
checking Python installation directories...
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.3/lib/python2.3
checking how to link an embedded Python application...
-L/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.3/lib/python2.3/config
-lpython2.3
However, when I run make, I get the following:
plpython.c:41:19: dlfcn.h: No such file or directory
[snip warnings regarding use of long double]
make[3]: *** [plpython.o] Error 1
I took a look at plpython.c, and it is simply including dlfcn.h, so I
looked at dlfcn.h and found two separate versions. One version is in
postgresql-7.4beta4/src/include/port/win32/dlfcn.h, and is blank. The
other is in my python 2.3.2 source tree,
Python-2.3.2/PC/os2emx/dlfcn.h, and according to the comments in the
file it "implements dlopen() -- Unix-like dynamic linking emulation
functions for OS/2 using DosLoadModule() and company". It didn't seem
relevant at all, so I commented out the include line in plpython.c, and
tried again.
My make results this time were somewhat more to the point, though no
less frustrating. The output:
[snip]
gcc -no-cpp-precomp -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -bundle plpython.o -L../../../src/port
-bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres
-L/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.3/lib/python2.3/config
-lpython2.3 -o libplpython.so.0.0
ld: can't locate file for: -lpython2.3
make[3]: *** [libplpython.so.0.0] Error 1
[snip]
Now, this is looking a lot like PostgreSQL's configure script,
particularly the third output line quoted above, is somewhat ignorant
of how to handle a framework build of Python as a shared library under
OS X. Am I correct? How do I go about correcting this problem, does
anyone have any hints on this one?
FWIW, the PostgreSQL archives are remarkably reticent on the subject of
compiling under OS X, and there are zero mentions of how to deal with
building pl/python.
Thanks in advance.
