<rant> What !@#$% idiot did the python 2.2 build system!? It bombs out trying to compile the extensions, because _someone_ got "clever" and decided to write the build system in Python. And got it wrong. So it doesn't compile or link properly. And after chasing through _8_ levels of indirection without figuring out where it tries adding library arguments, I just give up! For those who care, it's going insane trying to build _socket, and _curses, and probably something else. _socket is trying to link against openssl, but my openssl libraries aren't where it expects them to be, and if I hand-edit setup.py (yes, hand-edit - ARRRRGH!) to put the correct paths in, it still doesn't work, I suspect because it's not using -R or setting LD_RUN_PATH. I haven't even looked at the other errors yet. </rant>
So, just how "recommended" is python 2.2? Can I just use my python 2.0 installation until someone else makes this nightmare go away? -- Carson Gaspar - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Queen Trapped in a Butch Body _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
