Hello,
I am trying to compile Python 2.6.2 on my Mac which has os/x 10.5.7
I downloaded python 2.6.2 from here:
- http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.2/Python-2.6.2.tar.bz2
I unpacked it.
I ran these shell commands:
- ./configure --prefix=/pt/p
- make
Near the end of the make output I see this message:
. Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
. _bsddb gdbm linuxaudiodev
. ossaudiodev readline spwd
. sunaudiodev
. To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules()
for
the module's name.
I looked in setup.py in detect_modules()
It is not clear to me how to proceed.
I think that I want the module: "readline"
I doubt I need the other modules like linuxaudiodev, etc.
If you have any clues or opinions on how I can build the module
"readline",
please feel free to share.
You need to install the GNU Readline library
(http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html), which the
module depends on.
A better solution would be to configure the modules in question to use
the libreadline.dylib library already installed on every Mac OS X
computer.
You might consider installing Python through MacPorts or Fink instead,
as they automate the compilation and installation process and take
care of dependencies (such as GNU Readline) for you:
http://www.macports.org/
http://www.finkproject.org/
Cheers,
Chris
