How do I use this algorithm? What does that parameter do?

Cython compilation error

Post by Qottmann »

Hello,
does somebody have an idea what might be the problem here? I tried to compile the cython files but get this error message. I updated cython but the problem remains:

Code: Select all

This looks like a linking error. What OS are you using?
Can you compile the first minimal example from http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/qu ... build.html?

Another minimal example with numpy: save this code as "a.pyx".

Code: Select all

cimport numpy as cnp
import numpy as np
cnp.import_array()

def my_sum(cnp.ndarray[cnp.intp_t, ndim=1] values):
    cdef s = 0
    for i in range(values.shape[0]):
        s += values[i]
    return s

def main():
    print("Hello world")
    v = np.arange(20, dtype=np.intp)
    print(my_sum(v))
Can you then do the following in the terminal?

Code: Select all

cythonize -bi a.pyx
python -c 'import a; a.main()'

Hello Johannes, thanks again for the answer!

On my personal computer on Ubuntu 18 it works fine, the problem here is on a Ubuntu 16 server. When I try to compile your minimal example I get a similar error:

Maybe if it helps here is the config output:

tenpy 0.4.0.dev0+8f0448a (not compiled),
git revision 8f0448a4247c45c29eab15b59bb10fd70c67732a using
python 3.6.7 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Feb 28 2019, 09:07:38) 
[GCC 7.3.0]
numpy 1.13.3, scipy 1.1.0
I used the predefined conda environment that is on the github from you. Compared to the installation instructions I have Python 3.6.7 (instead of 3.7.3) and numpy and scipy are older versions (even though when I try conda install numpy scipy it tells me I am up to date). I dont know if those small deviations could be responsible for it or not.

Did you do the sudo apt-get install build-essential?
Or in other words, do you have a working C++ compiler?

I did not specifically install this compiler, no.

I asked our admin to check if gcc is up to date (which it was) but he also updated a bunch of other things and now it is working. I dont know what exactly was the problem (so for future references this thread might be not very helpful) but at least it is running now.
