Dear Ulrich,

I have the following error while building the pattern search extension. This system is running a solaris type of the OS. But I do have a proper GCC 4.7 and boost 1.49 library installed.

</kombilo/lk]# python setup.py build_ext
running build_ext
building '_libkombilo' extension
......
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -O -O2 -DHAVE_DB_185_H -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/db4 -I/opt/local/include/ncurses -DNDEBUG -O -O2 -DHAVE_DB_185_H -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/db4 -I/opt/local/include/ncurses -fPIC -I/opt/local/include/python2.7 -c search.cpp -o build/temp.solaris-2.11-i86pc.64bit-2.7/search.o -O3 -I. -fopenmp

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

All the three source lines contain a symbol 'CS'. I suspect this symbol might be redefined in boost. Do you have any suggestions?

It looks like CS is defined somewhere as a macro. I have never had this problem with boost, but unfortunately I do not have time to look into it at the moment. You could try to rename CS to something else in the three lines in algos.h and in the corresponding places in algos.cpp, where those methods are defined. This is not so elegant, but it will be only very few places which should be easy to find.

Best,

Ulrich
