My paragraph above is everything that is needed. The whole point of the script is to not have to create an environment but have a reproducable build. I'm thinking about removing the need for installing Tcl/Tk as well, it should be possible to get the same effect by creative use of linker flags. > > You mention about have ActiveState Tcl/Tk installed - but that won't build > readline, bsddb and possibly other C extension libraries that are part of a > standard install from a Python.org Mac OS X installer. You don't have to install anything beyond Tcl/Tk. Ronald
