On RHEL5 there is a python version 2.4, which is to old for xcb-proto and libxcb.
The following 3 patches try to fix that problem, but need some help. [PATCH 1/3] [python] remove broken 3.1 to make host-python work With the selection 2.6 or 3.1 setup the host-python packet would not work, because version number was not know in the download stage, so it tried to download Python-.tar.gz instead of Python-2.6.4.tar.gz. Since 3.1 was already marked broken is removed it. A better solution might be to make a python2 and pyhton3 packet, cause those versions of python are not compatible. [PATCH 2/3] [xcb-proto] Needs host-python to build on RHEL5 This adds detection for the installed python2.6, since ptx-python does not install "python" the script will not find python at all. [PATCH 3/3] [libxcb] host python detection This does the same thing, just that due to some, for me, unknown cause it will not resolve the version variable. So these patches are not meant to be applied, but to get comments. - Erwin -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
