I see the following failure on Fedora Core 4 (32-bit and 64-bit) with Python 2.7.0.

Hello,
I tried on a freshly build 2.7, and I can't replicate the reported error. Could it be it has been fixed by r78136?

Sridhar, are you still seeing this error?

Cheers,
Sandro

I still see the error with Python 2.7.1.

Note that for that test case to be run, it must be on an installed python:
    @unittest.skipIf(sysconfig.is_python_build(),
                     "need an installed Python. See #7774")

Am testing the 2.7 branch now on an x86_64 Fedora 13 box

That test works for me on this x86_64 Fedora 13 box (using latest 2.7 code from SVN, built and installed to a test prefix):

I should note that Fedora Core 4 reached its "End of Life" at August 2006:

Do you see this with a more up-to-date version of Fedora?

I don't have access to other versions of FC at the moment.

Hmm, if this bug is specific to a EoL'ed version FC, then perhaps this 
issue can be closed as WontFix?

Ok, so the situation is:

- I've test on debian sid and it works fine
- Dave on a Fedora 13 and it works
- I asked a couple of guys to try it on their systems, that's Fedora14 and Gentoo and it works fine

So I think we can conclude it's a Fedora Core 4 specific problem (that's EOL tho).

I'm closing this report (if someone thinks it's too early, please reopen it :)

Cheers,
Sandro
