Installing Pycrypto on DUO - Sparc

Hi Hyperbit,

In case you still have the issue, I was running into the exact same problem and just got around it. I too just purchased the Python from readynasxtras.

I'm on the NV+, and was actually trying to install duplicity. But I was getting the exact same cc error so I think this will work for you.

First I linked cc to gcc. Same result as you. Then I removed the -fwrapv option in python config, but then it started complaining about missing Python.h. Downloaded the same version of python and added that include directory to the include path and viola...

Here's the condensed version of the commands to reproduce. Hope I didn't miss anything.

ln /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
mkdir /root/src
cd /root/src
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz --no-check-certificate
tar xvzf http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz
vi /usr/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile

Change the OPT line as follows:

# Compiler options
#OPT=           -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
OPT=            -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I /root/src/Python-2.7.3/Include

HTH,

Greg
