64bit Python on Solaris 10 installation

920934Mar 23 2012 — edited Mar 26 2012
Hello,

I would like to ask you if there is some way how to install 64bit Python on Solaris 10. I have downloaded package python-3.1.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz from sunfreeware and installed it with pkgadd -d. Everything works but it is 32bit version:


# file /usr/local/bin/python3.2
/usr/local/bin/python3.2: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
#

I need to install 64bit version of the python. It is possible only with compilation from sources? If yes, could you please help me to figure out how it can be done? Which prefix I should use in ./configure ? And also next thing, will be installed also _sqlite3.so library? With 32bit installation it is installed ( and I need it for sqlite import in python ) and I need 64bit version of this sqlite library

# file /usr/local/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so
/usr/local/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so: ELF 32-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
#


# isainfo -kv
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules
#

Thank you for help.
