problems extending python with c-function

[Uwe Schmitt]

Hi There,

I tried to write a C function in order to extend python as
described in the documentation at www.python.org.
I wrote a Setup file and made a make file as described.
When building the dynamic library with "make" I get
the follown error message:

   In file included from
   /usr/local/ActivePython-2.1/include/python2.1/Python.h:54, from
   ././testmod.c:1:

   /usr/local/ActivePython-2.1/include/python2.1/pyport.h:422:2: #error
   "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc
   config?)." make: *** [testmod.o] Fehler 1

Can anybody help me ? I'm using RedHat 7.1 and ActiveState Python.

Greetings, Uwe
