problems with embedded python on cygwin.

[bailey2r@cs.uregina.ca]

First, I've read about the _socket problem in cygwin and am assuming  
that in the latest python 2.5.2 or cygwin this problem has been  
solved?  I can import _socket just fine in the intereactive  
interpreter in cygwin; the problem is embedding python into C code.

I have a C program:

#include <Python.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   Py_Initialize();

   //FILE *fp = fopen ("a2.py",   "r+");
   //PyRun_SimpleFile(fp, "a2.py");

   PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time, ctime\n"
                      "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
   PyRun_SimpleString("import sys\n"
                      "print sys.path\n"
					 "import cgi");
   //PyRun_SimpleString("import a2\n");
   Py_Finalize();
   return 0;
}


which crashes when I run it in cygwin.  It merely crashes; i get the  
illegal operation window.

I compile it by using:

gcc -Wall -IC:/cygwin/usr/include/python2.5  
-LC:/cygwin/usr/lib/python2.5/config embed.c -lpython2.5 -lm

It compiles just fine.  I just get the runtime crash.

Oddly, when I use the windows install of python that i have:

gcc -Wall -IC:/Python26/include -LC:/Python26/libs embed.c -lpython26 -lm

It works fine.  Problem is that I get the _socket issue if I try to  
import cgi. So I assume if I'm going to make something meaning (using  
_socket) in cygwin i need to use the cygwin install of python.  Does  
anyone have any idea as to why it crashes like this?  Or can point me  
in the right direction?  thanks.
