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. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123443 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") File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/_loader.py", line 200, in __getattr__ dll = self.load_version(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/_loader.py", line 170, in load_version return self._plat_load_version(name, version, mode) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/_loader.py", line 146, in _plat_load_version return self.load("lib%s.so" % name, mode) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/_loader.py", line 112, in load return self._load(libname, mode) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/_loader.py", line 149, in _load return self._dlltype(libname, mode) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/__init__.py", line 300, in __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).
