Hi Philip Withnall and
Michael Catanzaro, I ran gmake with V=1 and it did produce more output. From the output I found out that it could not find an external symbol. After searching the WWW with the symbol I found a comment that indicated that they symbol was supposed to be in glib-2 at a level > 38. Since the version that I have installed is 42 the problem must be some where else. After looking at the configure log and the gmake log I concluded that things were getting confused because I have two version of glib installed on my system. One in /opt/freeware and the other in /opt/alinux. After looking at my export symbols I concluded that I had confused configure and gmake so I began all over again. This time I did not use the setting that was used to build /opt/freeware binarys. I guess I guessed correctly. This time configure and gmake worked just find. gobject-introspection compile without any errors. Argggg! I just tried to build gobject-introspection-1.42.0 from scratch. That is; I removed the old build directory and then unpacked the xz file again and proceeded to try and build it. Now it will not build. Has the same error I started with. I traced it down to the fact that configure refuses to link to the correct version of python. For some reason it keeps linking to the python that is in /opt/freeware/bin and not /opt/alinux/bin. The first library in my PATH global variable is /opt/alinux/bin and when I do: $ which python /opt/alinux/bin/python $ echo $PATH /opt/alinux/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/opt/freeware/bin:/opt/freeware/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/home/surfer::/usr/bin/Mycommands:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib/instl:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin:/usr/lpp/Adobe/Acrobat7.0 $ ls -la /opt/alinux/bin/pyth* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 7 Feb 05 20:40 /opt/alinux/bin/python -> python2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 14 Feb 05 20:40 /opt/alinux/bin/python-config -> python2-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 9 Feb 05 20:40 /opt/alinux/bin/python2 -> python2.7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 16 Feb 05 20:40 /opt/alinux/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 172945 Feb 05 20:38 /opt/alinux/bin/python2.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 1688 Feb 05 20:40 /opt/alinux/bin/python2.7-config it finds the correct version of python; but for some reason when configure runs it seems to be finding /opt/freeware/bin/python checking for python2.6... /usr/bin/python2.6 checking for python2.6 version... 2.6 checking for python2.6 platform... aix6 checking for python2.6 script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages checking for python2.6 extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages $ ls -la /usr/bin/python2.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 32 Jan 30 19:20 /usr/bin/python2.6 -> ../../opt/freeware/bin/python2.6 $ ls -la /usr/bin/python lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 29 Jan 30 19:20 /usr/bin/python -> ../../opt/freeware/bin/python $ ls -la /opt/freeware/bin/pyth* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 66812 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 16 Jan 30 19:19 /opt/freeware/bin/python-config -> python2.6-config -rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 66812 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python2.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 1427 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python2.6-config -rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 67955 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python2.6_64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1430 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python2.6_64-config -rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 67955 Aug 02 2013 /opt/freeware/bin/python_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 19 Jan 30 19:19 /opt/freeware/bin/python_64-config -> python2.6_64-config $ diff /opt/freeware/bin/python /opt/freeware/bin/python2.6 If I set the global symbol PYTHON=/opt/alinux/bin/python or python2.7 I get the following error message from configure: checking whether /opt/alinux/bin/python version is >= 2.6... configure: error: Python interpreter is too old no I must be doing something wrong; but I just do not know what it is. I think I have set all the global variable correctly.
