This occurred a few times during the configure process. Didn't cause it to conk out, but is annoying. I've looked into this issue. It is harmless and caused by an interaction between AC_TRY_RUN and gcc on leopard. Gcc generates '.dSYM' directories when linking with debugging enabled. These directories contain detached debugging information (see man dsymutil). AC_TRY_RUN tries to remove 'conftest.*' using rm, without the -r flag. The end result is an error message during configure and a 'config.dSYM' turd. AFAIK this not easily fixed without changing the definition of AC_TRY_RUN, at least not without crude hacks.

Brett I am assuming this is on your OS X machine, Skip? Yes, sorry. I forgot to mention that. As long as someone else sees it and feels fine to ignore it, I'm fine with it. I suspect it's a configure problem anyway, not a Python problem. I've seen it with just about every ./configure script on OS X 10.5. It's not specific to Python, and I haven't seen it cause any actual problems. -- Robert Kern I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. -- Umberto Eco ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I have been getting that message for a while on my OS X machine as well. Same with some linking message when building ctypes. Never bothered to debug them since they never seemed to affect anything. -Brett ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
