Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add ola.

[John J Foerch]

Hi all,

I have made some progress with the ola package, but have run into
difficulty related to python used in its test phase.  Relevant code and
logs can be found here:

  The package definition: http://retroj.net/scratch/ola-guix/ola.scm

  The build log: http://retroj.net/scratch/ola-guix/ola-guix-build.log

  OLA's config.log: http://retroj.net/scratch/ola-guix/config.log

  Log of the test suite errors:
  http://retroj.net/scratch/ola-guix/test-suite.log

The ./configure argument --enable-rdm-tests turns on some tests that use
python.  These tests require the python-protobuf package.  Config.log
shows that protobuf was found, by whatever means autoconf uses to find
it, but the tests fail with this:

  File "/tmp/guix-build-ola-0.10.2.drv-0/ola-0.10.2/python/ola/PidStore.py",
     line 27, in <module> from google.protobuf import text_format
  ImportError: No module named 'google'

  ...

  File 
"/tmp/guix-build-ola-0.10.2.drv-0/ola-0.10.2/python/ola/rpc/SimpleRpcController.py",
    line 18, in <module> from google.protobuf import service
  ImportError: No module named 'google'

(For the complete messages, see links above.)

My best guess is that when the rdm tests run, PYTHONPATH does not
include whatever directory the google.protobuf module is in.  Anybody
know what's going on here?

Thank you,
