Install and Build Problem on Mac OS X 10.5 and Python 2..6
Reported by Calum Moore | June 24th, 2009 @ 10:16 PM
Hi
I have used macport to install spidermonkey. It says this is installed.
When i attempt to build spidermonkey it fails with the error message below.
Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$ python setup.py
build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 186, in
**platform_config()
File "setup.py", line 143, in platform_config
return nspr_config(config=config)
File "setup.py", line 87, in nspr_config
return pkg_config("nspr", config)
File "setup.py", line 59, in pkg_config
raise RuntimeError("No package configuration found for: %s" % pkg_name)
RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr
Same message appears when i attempt install.
Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$ python setup.py
install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 186, in

return pkg_config("nspr", config)
File "setup.py", line 59, in pkg_config
raise RuntimeError("No package configuration found for: %s" % pkg_name)
RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr
Really have no idea what is wrong.

Calum,
You need to make sure that libnspr is installed from ports. You can install it like:
$ sudo port install nspr
Though it should've been installed for spidermonkey I think. If that says nspr is already installed check and see if there's an nspr-config script in /opt/local/bin. If there is, then you just need to make sure /opt/local/bin is on your path. You can do that temporarily why running the setup.py script like such:
$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin python setup.py build
Let me know if that fixes things.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I seem to have nspr installed because when using:
$ sudo port install nspr
I get the following already installed message (well i think that's what it is)
Macintosh-9:~ calum$ sudo port install nspr
Password:
Skipping org.macports.activate (nspr ) since this port is already active
---> Cleaning nsprI checked /opt/local/bin and there is a nspr-config file. I used
$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin python setup.py build
and again got the same error as always:
Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 186, in**platform_config()
File "setup.py", line 143, in platform_config
return nspr_config(config=config)
File "setup.py", line 87, in nspr_config
return pkg_config("nspr", config)
File "setup.py", line 59, in pkg_config
raise RuntimeError("No package configuration found for: %s" % pkg_name)
RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr
Also to note, when I installed MacPorts for the first time it didn't work. So i added the following to /Users/Calum/.bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.shNow the complete file (/Users/Calum/.bash_profile) reads:
Setting PATH for MacPython 2.6
The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH##
Your previous /Users/calum/.bash_profile file was backed up as /Users/calum/.bash_profile.macports-saved_2009-06-25_at_01:05:02
##

Just to clarify the parts in header format are commented out, but i'm guessing the hash is seen as formatting and therefore removed.

Paul J. Davis June 25th, 2009 @ 04:29 PM
Calum,
Oh, forgot one, you need pkgconfig installed too.
$ sudo port install pkgconfig
In the end, you need the following command to work:
$ pkg-config --cflags nspr -I/opt/local/include/nspr
If that fixes things I'll add a note to the README.

Sorry for the delay in the response. My computer went in for repairs so I won't know till next week. I will let you know as soon as I get it from repairs.

I can confirm that it does fix it.

I'm getting the same build failure on snow leopard.
I installed pkgconfig and nspr with ports. I'm using a Python built
from source../spidermonkey/libjs/jsapi.c: In function 'JS_ConvertArgumentsVA': ./spidermonkey/libjs/jsapi.c:267: warning: passing argument 5 of 'TryArgumentFormatter' from incompatible pointer type ./spidermonkey/libjs/jsapi.c: In function 'JS_PushArgumentsVA': ./spidermonkey/libjs/jsapi.c:370: warning: passing argument 5 of 'TryArgumentFormatter' from incompatible pointer type In file included from ./spidermonkey/libjs/jsarena.c:49:

I beat my head on this a bit more.
The assertion errors results from sizeof(unsigned) (4) not being the
same as sizeof(unsigned long) (8). I assume this was something that
changed in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.Since python-spidermonkey includes a snapshot of spidermonkey, I
thought I'd try to install later versions of spider monkley and
install python-spidermonkey via system libraries. After much flailing,
I managed to get a system build of spider monkey from the mercurial
repo build with --enable-threadsafe and managed to get
python-spidermonkey to use it by hand crafting a mozilla-ns.pc file.
Unfortunately, python-spidermonkey fails to build with many errors
suggesting the spidermonkey apis have changed too much for
python-spidermonkey to keep up with. -

Building
python-spidermonkey
egg on MacTo build a
python-spidermonkey
egg on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard):-
Install from
MacPorts
:-
pkg-config
sudo port -c install pkgconfig +universal
-
spidermonkey
sudo port -c install spidermonkey +universal
The
spidermonkey
port will installnspr
as a dependency.(The
+universal
is optional. If you use a universal build of Python it's better to build universal libraries too.) -
-
Create a
pkg-config
metadata file forspidermonkey
because it
does not create one during install.The file needs to be named
mozilla-js.pc
because that's the namepython-spidermonkey
is looking for when it callspkg-config
.Open in your favorite editor
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/mozilla-js.pc
and put this content inprefix=/opt/local exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include/js Name: SpiderMonkey Description: JavaScript-C Engine Version: 1.7.0 Requires: nspr Libs: -L${libdir} -ljs Cflags: -I${includedir} -DJS_THREADSAFE -DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8 -DXP_UNIX
-
Download a source distribution of the
python-spidermonkey
egg from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-spidermonkey/0.0.9 or the latest snapshot from thepython-spidermonkey
home page listed at PyPI. -
Unpack the source distribution and build the egg using
zc.buildout
buildout setup . --system-library bdist_egg
or Python
python setup.py --system-library bdist_egg

Python/JavaScript bridge module, making use of Mozilla's spidermonkey JavaScript implementation. Allows implementation of JavaScript classes, objects and functions in Python, and evaluation and calling of JavaScript scripts and functions respectively. Borrows heavily from Claes Jacobssen's Javascript Perl module, in turn based on Mozilla's 'PerlConnect' Perl binding.
