I installed a framework version, using otherwise default settings, and it played nicely with my existing Python installation: ./configure --enable-framework make sudo make install On one machine this worked without any issues. On another, I had to fix the symbolic link at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current to point to the [...]/Versions/2.6 directory, rather than the [...]/Versions/3.0 directory that the installation seemed to have linked to. The executables live in /usr/local/bin/ and will probably be in your default $PATH, so just issuing python3.0 At the command line should put you into the new interpreter. -- Dr Leighton Pritchard MRSC D131, Plant Pathology Programme, SCRI Errol Road, Invergowrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, DD2 5DA e:lpr...@scri.ac.uk w:http://www.scri.ac.uk/staff/leightonpritchard gpg/pgp: 0xFEFC205C tel:+44(0)1382 562731 x2405 ______________________________________________________________________ SCRI, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5DA.
