I think that I want the module: "readline" I doubt I need the other modules like linuxaudiodev, etc. If you have any clues or opinions on how I can build the module "readline", please feel free to share. You need to install the GNU Readline library (http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html), which the module depends on. A better solution would be to configure the modules in question to use the libreadline.dylib library already installed on every Mac OS X computer. You might consider installing Python through MacPorts or Fink instead, as they automate the compilation and installation process and take care of dependencies (such as GNU Readline) for you: http://www.macports.org/ http://www.finkproject.org/ Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list --- See the amazing new SF reel: Invasion of the man eating cucumbers from outer space.

You are aware that under OSX one usually wants a so-called framework-build? It's an configure-option. You don't need the --prefix then (unless you have another python2.6 installed), and without the FW-build no UI-packages are useable. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
