My first guess would be that destination file exists and `ln` doesn't want to overwrite the file First try moving file or directory named "django" from site-packages somewhere else and then try to link again. $ mv /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django /tmp/DJANGO_TMP $ ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Davor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
