Of course, if I'd been more careful reading the error messages given I could have resolved it earlier.
I didn't HAVE a python in /usr/bin/python, I had it in /sw/bin/python. Created soft link (ln -s) from /usr/bin/python to /sw/bin/python Installation was able to proceed and completed successfully. Is this a bug in the configuration somewhere? Surely if /usr/bin/python doesn't exist it shouldn't be trying to use that hardcoded version of it? I have a hard time believing I'm the first to come across this. Then again, I might be first to not have /usr/bin/python? regards, Marc On 19 Aug 08, at 15:19, Marc Donovan wrote: > Hi,[edited to expose relevant lines:] > > ./configure: line 12276: ./po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory > checking whether /usr/bin/python version >= 2.0... configure: error: > too old > ### execution of PYTHON=/usr/bin/python failed, exit code 1 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
