Are you using the 2.3 that Apple provided? If so, I think the headers you need are there, but I don't have Tiger. If they are not there, it may be that you'll get them as part of Apple's developer tools package. > If MacPython is just same or similar to UNIX/LINUX python2.3, I > should be confident on working on Mac. There are a few odd difference, mostly with where libs are named and put and the like, but it's a pretty easy transition, particularly if you're not doing any GUI stuff. > Maybe I need to download > MacPython again and install them on the new Mac If you want to upgrade, I'd install Bob Ippolito's "Official Unofficial" 2.4.1: http://undefined.org/python/#pimp You'll probably also want the TigerPython24Fix If you need any additional packages, look here first: http://pythonmac.org/packages/ > On *nix system, it normally is with C compiler such as gcc cc or > workshop. What is the most often used c compiler on Mac ? gcc. Used by Apple and most other people. To get it you need to install the development tools, known as "XCode tools" or something like that. XCode is Apple's IDE, but they distribute command line gcc with it, all as one massive package. You may have it on a cd that came with your copy of OS-X, or you can download it for free from the Apple developers website. You do need to register and receive their spam, but they don't charge for it. One other note. The system compiler for OS-X 10.4 is gcc 4.*, which is a bit more picky about standards compliance than gcc3.*, so some code won't compile with it. I think Xcode tools comes with both, however, and there is a script for switching between them, if you need to use the older version, the name of which evades me at the moment. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
