I'm having some surprising issues with bdist_mpkg and I wondered if anyone had advice.
Problem building a PIL 1.1.7 binary installer for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later: * The PIL binary for Python 2.6 does not work on 10.3.9 or 10.4: the _imaging C library cannot be loaded. * The Python 2.5 PIL does not have this problem - it works fine on 10.3.9. * There are no problems on 10.5 and 10.6. Problem building a matplotlib 1.0.0 installer for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later: * The resulting matplotlib segfaults on Mac OS X 10.3.9 for both Python 2.5 and 2.6. * The Python 2.6 version has incorrect permissions for some data files. I know how to work around this but am puzzled why it is necessary. * The Python 2.5 version has no permission problems. My setup: - Mac OS X 10.5.8 Intel system - Python 2.5.2 and Python 2.6.6 both from python.org - bdist_mpkg 0.4.4 (installed using pip) - Build instructions for matplotlib: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/BuildingMatplotlibForMac.htm l> (the procedure for PIL is similar). I tried building on 10.3.9, but the gcc is so old that I get buffer overflow vulnerability warnings so I'm not keen to go this route. I'll have a 10.4 machine in a few weeks and I'll try that. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
