How Do You Get Python 2.6 as Default?

[jsmidt]

I have a very simple python package I am trying to package. Here is my rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM=pycentral

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk

# Add here any variable or target overrides you need.


I is giving these errors:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarrayobject.h:1571: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘int’
...
make: *** [python-build-stamp-2.5] Error 1


I need the packager to look in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy

and build using Python 2.6. How do I make that happen?

I am running Jaunty.

Forget my first comment, it is garbage.

If anyone has time, could you look into why healpy won't build on Ubuntu Jaunty: http://code.google.com/p/healpy/. (The upstream source)

I thought it would be an easy package to build since it builds flawlessly on Fedora 10 which uses the same gcc version. (4.3) There are a ton of errors when I build on Jaunty, and it is hard for me to dig through them all.

It would be a big help if someone could take a few minutes and try. Thanks.

I am also doing some CMBR research and I'm supposed to get healpy installed and working and I cannot make it work. Any help?

the jsmidt above seems to have cracked it sometime after his post (though not on amd64) see
