just a short (and little late on top, i know) answer: what fails to compile is actually not python but readline
> ### mv failed, exit code 1 > Failed: installing readline-shlibs-4.2a-5 failed > [localhost:~] hester% " i'm sorry if my mail confused you. all i said was that python itself would compile with gcc3, but i didn't check wheter all the dependencies would compile as well. so i suggest youdo a "sudo gcc_select 2" to switch to gcc2, then "fink install readline" and switching back to gcc3 again and trying "fink install python" one more. mathias _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
