Hello all. I’m a long time MATLAB user and relatively new Python user who has decided to take the plunge and try MPL. My workstation is an Ultra 60 running Solaris 10 (6/06) with Sun Studio 11. I have compiled and installed Python 2.5, numpy1.0rc3 and scipy 0.5.1 all with the Sun compilers. I would like to install MPL with the TkAgg frontend, and compile it with the Sun compiler.
So far, it doesn’t work. I have the following environment variables in my .profile pointing to the Sun compilers:
export CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
export CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
but MPL tries to always compile with the C compiler! I try tricking it by pointing the CC variable to the CXX path. This works, at first. The output follows. I read this as meaning that there are two problems: one is that MPL doesn’t have an understanding of separate executibles for C and C++, and the other is that there is some sort of incompatibility between Sun’s C++ compiler and SWIG. Are there any Sun people out there that have some thoughts (or success stories they can share?)
Thanks in advance,
Mike M.
