[reportlab-users] PyRXP compiles under Sun 64-bit with warnings, but segfaults or core dump on running

[Jett Logic]

Hi,

I'm working on a Solaris 9 system where I have to compile things in 
64-bit mode, with only the Sun Studio 9 compiler available.

Compiling pyRXP 1.12 (with 64-bit Python 2.5 and "cc -mt -xcode=pic32 
-xarch=v9") results in a a slew of warnings about type conversions 
involving int and long in pyRXP.c and pyRXPU.c  After installing, 
"import pyRXP; pyRXP.Parser()" fails with a segmentation fault, and 
pyRXPU.Parser() with a "bus error - core dumped".

REQUEST: as a workaround are there any cc compiler options I could use 
to make pyRXP.c compile correctly, given that it's confused about the 
lengths of int and long under 64-bit compilation? ("#define int long" 
and it compiles without error but fails on import)

Below, the compilation warnings if any devs wish to debug it on 64-bit 
solaris:
