I build a number of different versions on my Mac quite frequently. Just to make sure I wasn't fooling myself, I svn up'd my 2.5 branch, then reran configure make clean make -j2 make altinstall and then checked the lib-dynload timestamps. They looked fine. You can try running make -n altinstall and looking at the end of the output. You should see something like this: for i in X ; do \ if test $i != X; then \ echo /usr/bin/install -c -m 555 $i /Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/`basename $i`; \ /usr/bin/install -c -m 555 $i /Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/`basename $i`; \ fi; \ done That install command is what populates your lib-dynloads directory.
