It took me a little bit to connect the dots from their replies, so I thought I'd share my experiences. Maybe this can help someone, and maybe also lead to Ronald or someone else clarifying the right way to use his CFLAGS and LDFLAGS patch. I'm using darwinports, so first I had to sudo port install readline Once that was done, I wanted to build a local, non-framework Python with readline. darwinports uses /opt/local, so Ronald's approach led me to this best guess: $ CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib ./configure -- prefix=/Users/gary/py
This should do the trick, more or less. The build script for the python.org installer uses:
./configure --prefix=/Users/gary/py LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib OPT=-I/ opt/local/include
$ make
If you're using macports you might as well do 'port install python2.4'. Ronald
