Martin, Thank you so much! In fact, I did have a python executable on my PATH in ~/bin that was screwing things up. After I moved it (thus leaving the system default python as the only python executable on my PATH), the build process went smoothly (except for not being able to find a few libraries for some C extensions, but I think I can fix that). I now have working python2.6 and python3.0 executables to play with, thanks to you. :-) -- code.py: A blog about life, the universe, and Python http://pythonista.wordpress.com ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
