Has someone had success building the numpy package for AIX6.1 or 7.1?
I downloaded numpy-1.9.2.tar.gz and ran "python3 setup.py install".
After patching a few source files it compiles. However, when I try to import numpy it says:
ImportError: 0509-022 Cannot load module /python3.4/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so.
0509-187 The local-exec model was used for thread-local
storage, but the module is not the main program.
0509-193 Examine the .loader section header with the
'dump -Hv' command.
My guess is that it has got some -fPIC issues?!? I tried "CFLAGS="-fPIC" python3 setup.py install" but with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!!
I tried again today and it worked. It was indeed an -fPIC issue. I found that "python3 setup.py clean" doesn't clean up all *.so files and so my previous experiments actually never re-build those. So here's what you need to do:
(0) download the latest numpy source package and unpack it
(1) Make sure Python.h is the first include in the following files
numpy/core/src/multiarray/methods.c
numpy/core/src/umath/test_rational.c.src
numpy/core/src/umath/operand_flag_test.c.src
The following don't have include Python.h at all and need to have for them to compile:
numpy/core/src/npysort/heapsort.c.src
numpy/core/src/npysort/quicksort.c.src
numpy/core/src/npysort/mergesort.c.src
(2)
export CC="gcc -fPIC"
(3)
python3 setup.py build
(4)
python3 setup.py install
