hack

This is a hack I'm using locally for the time being.

The problem only occurs when you try to compile pyopengl when numarray is
installed. GCC4 only.

X11/Xlib.h gets installed which #defines Bool to int, then a numarray include
does:
typedef signed char Bool;

which the GCC4 preprocessor changes to:

typedef signed char int;

which just makes no sense (you can't redefine int!)

I'll hopefully contact numarray upstream about this in the next few days...

Hello,

I'd just like to mention that now that gcc 4 is in stable, this compilation
failure also concerns the stable tree (with numarray-1.3.1 and
pyopengl-2.0.0.44). I hit this today while following the gcc upgrade guide on a
(mostly) stable system.

As this is in gnome dependencies (via pygtk if the opengl useflag is on), maybe
it should be added to the gnome tracker (or better, fixed asap ! although I
understand it may not be that easy if we need to refactor all numarray - or X
!).

> I'll hopefully contact numarray upstream about this in the next few days...

Any news :-S ?

Both pyopengl and numarray are unmaintained upstream. numarray has been
replaced by numpy which does not have this issue. However, porting an app from
numarray to numpy isn't that straightfoward.

pyopengl failed on me with default i686 stage3 install

i added echo "dev-python/numarray ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

re emerged it

then re emerged python with USE="-tk" 

then emerge --resume and pyopengl compiled

thought i might need to add this
i'm kinda a noob to gentoo so i hope it helps

is this bug still valid with numarray-1.5.2?

Yes, opyopengl-2.0.1.09-r1 still fails with this:

with numarray-1.5.2-r1 installed.

Ok, put pyopengl-3.0.0_beta1 in the tree.
Since PyOpenGL-3.x uses ctypes instead of swig, this problem is fixed.
