I think the next step is to change your python install to something as close to the upstream python as possible. We supply an 'install_with_python.sh' script which installs a (now old) but known working version, but you should also have reasonable luck with just the current python 2.7 http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/ Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett http://samba.org/~abartlet/ Authentication Developer, Samba Team http://samba.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
