[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #113773] Python 2.0b1 selectmodule compile error under Redhat 5.2

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #113773, was updated on 2000-Sep-06 18:26
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Build
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 7
Summary: Python 2.0b1 selectmodule compile error under Redhat 5.2

Details: Environment: Redhat 5.2 running the gcc compiler that comes with the
distribution (gcc 2.7.2.3).

'make' failed when compiling selectmodule.c ('./configure' ran ok)because
the following constants were undefined:

POLLRDNORM, POLLRDBAND, POLLWRBAND

The /usr/include/sys/poll.h file does not contain these constants.
Under Redhat 6.2 the constants are defined in the /usr/include/bits/poll.h
file (which is not present in the Redhat 5.2 distribution).

I used the Redhat 6.2 poll.h file and the selectmodule compiled (under
Redhat 5.2) but got the following error when running 
'make test' (it looks like it might be related to the compile problem):

test test_poll crashed -- select.error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

1 test failed: test_poll

Boosted the priority and assigned to Fred.  Don't know what you can do about an older Redhat build problem, and it's not clear that the test failure isn't simply due to mixing files across OS releases.  I'm inclined to blame it on the OS.
