Slowly I have been making progress on getting Django setup locally on
my computer (OS X 10.4.6), but I have run into another problem. I have
followed the official <a
href="http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/";>install
instructions</a> for setting up the development version. I started by
using svn to get the trunk version of Django and moved it into:

/usr/local/src/django_src/django/

The next step says to create a symlink so that django is within your
Python site-packages directory. According to a comment, to do this in
Mac OS X 10.4.2 (and above), use this command:

sudo ln -s `pwd' /django_src/django/
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django

Running this command, I am told that no such file or directory exists.
Fair enough, so I run:

sudo mkdir
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/

and then

sudo ln -s `pwd`/usr/local/src/django_src/django/
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django

Only to get another error:

ln:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/:
File exists

So I'm officially confused (and admittedly not to skilled with UNIX
commands) - when the directory isn't there it gives me an error saying
it doesn't exist. When I create the directory, it gives me an error
saying the directory already exits! I'm sure I'm missing something
simple, can someone help me out? Thanks so much!
