This is unfortunately deceptive :-( The C-runtime mismatch problem happens when memory malloc'd in an extension module is free'd by the interpreter (or vice versa). Things might work for a while with this mismatch, but will (almost) always crash/hang/etc. in hard to track down ways later. Using the link that max provided above, I managed to build and install without passing any switches and getting no error messages. -- bjorn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
