Tell them to read the section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" of the manual to autoconf-2.59. They have misconfigured the bug report address in AC_INIT, so also tell them to change it to *their* bug report address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Please attach the config.log. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1160534&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
