I'm trying to build Python 2.3 on my Mac (OS X 10.5.5) so I can use it simply to test my lockfile package. It configures fine and the basic make step works, but the executable has some sort of problem with semaphore operations:
% ./python.exe sem_init: Function not implemented sem_wait: Bad file descriptor sem_post: Bad file descriptor sem_wait: Bad file descriptor sem_post: Bad file descriptor sem_init: Function not implemented sem_trywait: Bad file descriptor sem_wait: Bad file descriptor sem_post: Bad file descriptor sem_init: Function not implemented ... lots of similar messages ad nauseum ... sem_post: Bad file descriptor sem_init: Function not implemented sem_trywait: Bad file descriptor sem_wait: Bad file descriptor sem_init: Function not implemented sem_post: Bad file descriptor Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/skip/.python.py", line 21, in ? from save_session import mark, save, load File "/Users/skip/misc/python/save_session.py", line 21, in ? raise ImportError("session save/restore requires readline module") ImportError: session save/restore requires readline module >>> I compared the code related to sem_init between 2.3 and trunk but didn't see anything which looked promising. Any thoughts?
