[Numpy-discussion] Compiling numpy-0.9.6 on Solaris 9

[Crider, Joseph A]

According to one of our system administrators, she installed Python 2.4
from a precompiled package on Sunfreeware.com. The message that is
displayed when Python is started indicates it was built using gcc 3.3.2,
so I would have expected more problems on our Solaris 8 machine (which
only has gcc 2.95.3) than Solaris 9.

Addendum: Same runtime library should suffice normally.
