Error during installation: "-fstack-protector", `ssp-buffer-size'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log on to CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
2. Extract 2.1.6 zip and run "python setup.py build"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

pyodbc probably should compile, instead I'm getting error:

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-
D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4

for -mtune= switch

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.1.6, CentOS 5.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Forgot to mention Python version:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:57:05)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)] on linux2

What is happening is the Python distutils library, which is responsible for
generating the compilation command line is passing two values that GCC 4.1.2 
doesn't
recognize:

  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector"
  cc1plus: error: invalid parameter `ssp-buffer-size'

If I am thinking about this correctly, I believe it means that Python was 
compiled
with these flags by CentOS, but the version of GCC provided does not recognize 
them.

It is also possible that Python's distutils generated incorrect flags and that 
Python
*wasn't* compiled that way.

The versions look correct.  Can you compile any Python C extensions?  I would 
expect
them all to fail the same way (since pyodbc isn't generating the command line). 
Also, try asking on the CentOS forums also.  Perhaps someone has seen this 
before.

Thank you for prompt reply - you're right, other packages don't too. 

- python and gcc were not compiled but were installed with "yum install". I'll 
try to 
get the latest versions now.

I've doublechecked I have the latest gcc and python:

[root@hashed ~]# yum update python
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.rackspace.com
 * updates: pubmirrors.reflected.net
 * addons: mirrors.netdna.com
 * extras: www.muug.mb.ca

Could not find update match for python

Google gives no answers so far.

Thank you for help

Got it working on clean Ubuntu 9.04 after installing unixodbc-dev, gcc and some 
development stuff.

Thank you, 

Will try a clean CentOS 5.3
