I'm not sure that everyone looked at the posting that I did very clearly. The error I posted is totally different that the error discussed in this posting:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-February/055640.html That was a result of the install "finding" the Sun installed python. That is not my problem. To wit, here is the python greps out of the configure log: configure:1311: checking for --with-python configure:1330: checking for python configure:1348: found /usr/local/bin/python configure:1361: result: /usr/local/bin/python configure:1370: checking Python interpreter configure:1388: result: /usr/local/bin/python configure:1393: checking Python version configure:1434: checking that Python has a working distutils ac_cv_path_with_python=/usr/local/bin/python PYTHON='/usr/local/bin/python' with_python='/usr/local/bin/python' As can be seen, the local version was found in all cases. Take a look at the make output again: (cd ./$p ; umask 02 ; PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib /usr/local/bin/python setup.py --quiet install --install-lib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --install-purelib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --install-data /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib); \ done /usr/local/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py:247: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated; use 'license' warnings.warn(msg) src/hangul.c:33: error: syntax error before numeric constant src/hangul.c:34: error: syntax error before numeric constant error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-packages' Current working directory /usr/local/src/mailman-2.1.11rc2/misc Notice that the correct python is being used. It isn't python that is bailing, it is gcc. This failure is NOT the same. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth.
