I managed to cross-compile Python2.5 by following the procedure given by Chris (and Reimer) on the referred web page. You can download the archive with the binaries for fun_plug from

    http://rapidshare.com/files/74345952/py … ar.gz.html

Just extract the archive into /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d and you'll get the file python2.5 into the /bin directory and the libraries into the /lib/python2.5 directory. To make it run, you'll have to make python2.5 an executable by

chmod 555 /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/bin/python2.5

and set the environment variables PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH using the following commands:

export PYTHONHOME=/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/lib/python2.5
export PYTHONPATH=/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/lib/python2.5

If you wish to call "python" (instead of "python2.5") you have to establish a symbolic link using:

cd /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/bin
ln -s python2.5 python

fonz, maybe you could include Python into fun_plug 0.4 :-)

I cannot make Python running properly on the DNS-323. Some things do work, others don't.

Main problem seems to be the shared objects. For instance, if you try to import a built-in Python library, such as "time", the shared object "time.so" is loaded from the directory .../python/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/. This results in an error message that the symbol "__deregister_frame_info" cannot be resolved.

I've started Python with -v option to get more information:

>>> import time
dlopen(”./time.so”, 2);
: can’t resolve symbol ‘__deregister_frame_info’

This __deregister_frame_info symbol is probably defined in libgcc_s.so.1 but even if this file exists in /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/lib the error message still occurs.

Does anybody have a good idea (beside chroot into debian :-)?
