[pyicu-dev] has anyone built PyICU on an AMD64 machine?

[McCafferty Michael]

Hi all,

I'm a systems administrator trying to install icu 3.4.1 and PyICU 0.5  
onto Linux (gentoo 2006.0 and RHEL 4) on AMD 64 hardware.

I installed both icu and PyICU without incident on an Intel 32-bit  
server and works just fine. On an AMD 64 processor, however,  
icu-3.4.1 installs without warning onto the x86_64 machine, but PyICU  
fails with the following error.


$ make

Has anyone on this list successfully built PyICU 0.5 on x86_64  
hardware? If so, will you share any patches you might have had to  
create?

Thanks in advance,
