Bugzilla Bug 117998

Title says all, can use the program fine.

0.9.6 had some nontrivial bugs on AMD64 platforms.  All of the known problems
have been dealt with in the recent 0.9.9.3 release.  An ebuild for that has
been submitted as an enhancement request.

I would suggest closing this ticket and using 0.9.9.3 for amd64 systems.

0.9.9.3 doesn't work on my amd64 system:

chutz@chutz /usr/share/doc/ctypes-0.9.9.3 $ python test_clib.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_clib.py", line 41, in ?
    libc = cdll.LoadLibrary("/lib/libc.so.6")

__init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libLoadLibrary.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

Didn't realise those tests were over there (the test suite in
.../site-packages/ctypes/test/runtests.py completes with no errors, though it
appears to be missing a file for one test).  I've reported the failures to the
upstream developer.

Closing as 0.9.9.3 has been ~amd64 since 2006-03-02.  If there are still
problems let's open up another bug (beyond Patrick's 120360).
