You need to make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path before /usr/bin. To do this if your shell is bash, type export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH or in tcsh setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:$PATH You should add one of these lines to your startup file (.bash_profile if you're using bash, I don't know the tcsh equivalent) so that this is the default for new terminals. This should be better documented somewhere... - David _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
