tentative tarballs

[Luigi Ballabio-2]

Hi all,
        0.3.7 tarballs are now available in <http://quantlib.org/gm/>.  
You're welcome to download and try them on your system(s). Three notes:

a) for all: you'll need a working Boost installation.

b) for packagers:
"make" now creates two libraries, namely, libQuantLib-0.3.7 (as usual)  
and libQuantLibFunctions-0.3.7, which is a functional rib taken out of  
the main library. You may choose to package them together or  
separately; in any case, note that the test-suite links to both, while  
SWIG-generated bindings only link to the main library.

c) for Dirk :)
these are NOT the final tarballs.

Later,
        Luigi

Perfect timing, my boost package just went into boost 10.3/unstable on
friday.

Everything compiles fine, although the new -release linking caught me
out (although it makes sense).  The only problem is that I'm getting a
single failure in the test suite.

Exception in "StatisticsTest::testStatistics": std::exception:
incrementalstatistics.hpp:173: Real
QuantLib::IncrementalStatistics::max() const: empty sample set

The detailed report level doesn't really add any additional information:

  Test suite "Statistics tests" failed with:
   1 test case out of 2 passed
   1 test case out of 2 failed
   0 assertions out of 0 passed
   0 assertions out of 0 failed

     Test case "StatisticsTest::testStatistics" failed with:
     0 assertions out of 0 passed
     0 assertions out of 0 failed
     Test case "StatisticsTest::testStatistics" was aborted due to
uncaught exception, user assert or system error

     Test case "StatisticsTest::testSequenceStatistics" passed with:
     0 assertions out of 0 passed
     0 assertions out of 0 failed

Mark.

QuantLib itself built fine yesterday, and the build daemons have built ia64,
s390, hppa, powerpc, arm, sparc and m68k.  

So I turned to QL-Python and QL-Ruby. QL-Python built, but has now been
hanging for 30 minutes at
        Testing observability of stocks ...
when running 'python2.3 setup test'.  Any idea?

For what it's worth, QL-Ruby doesn't have the issue.

Thanks for that :)  I called them 0.3.6.rc.20040611 to ensure the final
0.3.7 will sort higher.

Hmm, I don't know. I never saw it happen in Python. I did see this  
behavior in Ruby, but you didn't, so I'm officially puzzled.
Unfortunately I don't have much time to investigate the thing (next  
week I'm undergoing some minor surgery---nothing to be worried of, but  
I won't have a computer nearby :) so I think I'll disable that specific  
test in the final tarball and add the problem to the known bug list.

Later,
        Luigi

Can you point me to the smallest possible alteration of the tarball so that
I could make it locally and get this shipped, and thus tested on other arches?

Shall I just remove/rename/comment tests/instruments.py ?

In QuantLibTestSuite.py, remove the relevant suite.addTest(...) line.

Thanks!  Had to do the same for TermStructureTests, and then it built fine.
Uploaded now, so we have the candidate releases of QL, QL-P and QL-R in
Debian.

Bye, Dirk

[ off-topic: what's the word on Totti in Italy?  There was a fabulous NY
Times article on him a few days before the tournament, chronicling his rise
in popularity with the two books of Totti jokes he wrote/issued. Can resend
the article if there is interest. Boy do I ever miss the tv coverage :-/ ]
