I am getting an error while building python-2.5.1 on a freebsd 6.1 machine as a normal user
./configure --prefix=/home/me/mypython --enable-unicode=ucs2 seems to work fine, but make install fails whilst running Compiling /home/my/mypython/lib/python2.5/test/test_module.py ... Compiling /home/me/mypython/lib/python2.5/test/test_multibytecodec.py ... Sorry: UnicodeError: ("\\N escapes not supported (can't load unicodedata module)",) Compiling /home/me/mypython/lib/python2.5/test/test_multibytecodec_support.py ... I see there was a bug reported about this http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09544.html but I didn't really understand what the resolution was. I do not have any special PYTHONHOME or PYTHONPATH set. The install partially works and I have a running python without the unicodedata module. Looking in Modules I don't see any unicodedata.o so I guess it's not being built for some reason. -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
