tracd core dumps on aix with "Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)"

[vlad.zam@…]

AIX 5.3 TL6 SP3, python 2.4.4, sqlite 3.5.1, trac 0.10.4, pysqlite 2.3.5, subversion 1.4.5, swig 1.3.31. tracd coredumps on first attempt to access the project producing Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?) IOT/Abort trap(coredump)

There is only one python on the system in /opt/freeware/bin, all the packages were compiled with it. Please see core file in the attachment.

Well, you shouldn't expect much help for troubleshooting a Trac installation on that platform… If you want to have a system up and running in due time, you should consider using a Linux or Windows box for that (and as you're using Subversion 1.4, you could set up a svnsync mirroring of your svn repository if that was one of the reason you wanted to install Trac on that AIX server).

Some hints nevertheless: you could try to disable multithreading in tracd, see this diff.

I got it running with 0.11dev egg. The problem seems to be related to the fact that clearsilver package was compiled with gcc while everything else were done with xlc(xlC). 0.11dev egg doesn't required clearsilver so it runs just fine. thanks.

I'm glad you got it working. I forgot about ClearSilver as being a possible cause of the trouble, because it's kind of out of the picture for me since a while now ;-)
