I next tried removing the old 2.4.1 installation by changing the name of the directory /library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.4 to 2.4a
I then did a ./configure and make I tried to run ./python.exe and got the following error AlBook:/install/python/macpython/python2.4.2/python-2.4.2 smithsm$ ./ python.exe dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.4/Python Referenced from: /Install/Python/MacPython/Python2.4.2/ Python-2.4.2/./python.exe Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap so apparently I can't run the python.exe without the framework fully installed so I did sudo make install and got this error Framework build: use "make frameworkinstall" in stead of "make install" make: *** [altbininstall] Error 1 so I tried sudo make frameworkinstall and this worked. So the real way to build 2.4.2 is first removed any previous 2.4.x builds then run ./configure --enable-framework make sudo make frameworkinstall this is different from every instruction I have seen. Nobody has ever said use make framworkinstall. So either everyone else is wrong or I am missing something important. Also it really is a pain to remove the old installation since I then have to reinstall every singe package that I installed in the previous 2.4.x installation. I thought the whole ideas was that I could upgrade to a newer 2.4.x without removing the old one. Help would be much appreciated! Has no one else actually installed 2.4.2 on os x 10.4.3?
