[Gnumed-devel] Tabbed List Problem/ pyPgSQL folks (?) / Mandrake pyPgSQL RPM

[Michael Bonert]

Am I the only one missing the tabbed list?
(Click on the 'Clinical' tab... on the right hand side you
should see three sections -- (1) a tabbed list (2) "Scratch Pad"
and (3) "Recalls/Reviews").  I don't see the tabbed list. :(


Does anyone have a good connection with the pyPgSQL folks?
I feel like I'm being ignored by 'em.  I sent an email their
way last week and haven't heard back from them -- with the
exception of a message telling me their developers list
(the email address I found in the src.rpm) is closed and they
would review my message.  -- What I sent 'em is at the
bottom.  Is one of us a developer there?


I spent the last little while learning about RPMs and created
a Mandrake one for pyPgSQL early on Tuesday.  Today I tested it on a
virgin system and found that it works. :)  I'm currently reading the
Mandrake RPM HOWTO... to make sure it conforms to their standards.

If someone wants to do some wants to install using it... email me. :)

Subject: Feature Request/Misleading gcc Error: Customization for Mandrake
(?)

Could 'setup.py' be changed so it doesn't have to be modified
for use on a Mandrake Linux system?

I've installed a couple versions of pyPgSQL (2.2, 2.3) on a couple
of Mandrake systems (9.0, 9.1) and found it frustrating.  If the
include and library directories are wrong you get a gcc error message
which is misleading.

A fix to the problem would be much appreciated... a proposal is below.

Thanks,
Michael


Proposed changes in 'setup.py':
------
SNIP

import string

SNIP

    if USE_CUSTOM:
        include_dirs = YOUR_LIST_HERE
        library_dirs = YOUR_LIST_HERE
    elif(string.find(sys.version, "Mandrake Linux")!=-1):
        include_dirs = ["/usr/include/pgsql"]
        library_dirs = ["/usr/lib/pgsql"]

SNIP
------

NOTE: "sys.version" returns:
'2.2.2 (#2, Feb  5 2003, 10:40:08) \n[GCC 3.2.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.1
3.2.1-5mdk)]'
