Any chance you can use the python.org installer for 2.5.4? Or the Macports version? They both are supported on Tiger. <http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/> <http://www.macports.org/> Again, I may be missing something but libpythonx.x by itself is not very useful, i.e. it's not your usual standalone lib. You'll almost certainly need the whole python installation. There are a number of ways to build python on OS X (google will find them or ask on the Mac python sig) but, unless you have some special requirement, use an existing python installation and build the ROOT Python module with that. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
