[Buildbot-devel] buildbot on x86 solaris 10 - complaining about ctypes version

[Jimmy John]

Hi,

  I am trying to run buildbot on a solaris 10 platform with python2.5. when i start buildbot I get a version mismatch for ctypes...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/buildbot", line 4, in <module>
    runner.run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/buildbot/scripts/runner.py", line 926, in run

    raise Exception, ("Version number mismatch", __version__, _ctypes_version)
Exception: ('Version number mismatch', '1.0.2', '1.0.1')



The default ctypes with python 2.5 is 1.0.1 

i don't this has anything specific to do with buildbot as I get the same error when i try to import ctypes at the interpreter....

Just wanted to see if anyone has come across this too...

Thanks
Jimmy
