• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Maarten Maathuis 2007-04-17 17:36:07 UTC]

Error message:

PyGInputStream.cpp: In member function ‘virtual nsresult PyG_nsIInputStream::Read(char*, PRUint32, PRUint32*)’:
PyGInputStream.cpp:108: error: cannot convert ‘int*’ to ‘Py_ssize_t*’ for argument ‘3’ to ‘int PyObject_AsReadBuffer(PyObject*, const void**, Py_ssize_t*)’

Summary:

Someone made a change and forgot that size_t isn't 32 bits on a 64 bits system.
I am not a 100% sure how to fix this, so i'll leave this to someone more capable.

python extensions are disabled for now.

Thanks for reporting.
