Most of the arguments you specify to configure are already

well, that's particularly annoying ...
then why offer the --prefix arg in the first place? just for NON-framework installs?
Yes, --prefix is for non-framework installs. If you read the docs for frameworks, you'll see that it's only "lightly tested" with an alternate path. You may have more luck if you just use the defaults. The docs also say that you can move the framework later.
I'm not totally sure that enable-toolbox-glue is on by default, but I think it is. I used it anyway:
% mkdir -p ~/src/Python-2.4.1c1/_panther % cd ~/src/Python-2.4.1c1/_panther % ../configure \ --enable-toolbox-glue \ --enable-framework=/Users/bob/python-2.4.1c1/Frameworks % make % sudo make frameworkinstall
worked fine for me.
ok, so something's missing on my system ... which is particularly odd since its a clean/complete install.
hmmmm ....
anyone else, perhaps with ideas? or should i take this over the the dev list?
I doubt there's anyone on dev that would be able to help you that isn't also subscribed here. You'll probably just have to wait, or dig deeper into the output of make to find out why MacOS isn't building, or isn't loading properly.
I suspect that you may have some weird environment variables set, maybe PYTHONPATH, maybe DYLD_*, etc. You may also want to make sure that the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable is set to 10.3. The only thing I left out is that I have MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.3 in my rc.
