I just noticed, that the python versionitis (reminds me of the auto-tools) is a problem which does not exist anymore. I'm currently working on a Blade 100 running yesterdays new SXCE snv_101. Don't know when exactly Python 2.5.x has been added to it, but now it _is_ bundled: bash-3.2$ ls -al /usr/bin/python* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 29 15:24 /usr/bin/python -> python2.4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 29 15:24 /usr/bin/python2.4 -> sparcv7/isapython2.4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 29 15:32 /usr/bin/python2.5 -> sparcv7/isapython2.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1418 Oct 7 07:29 /usr/bin/python2.5-config bash-3.2$ uname -a SunOS SunBlade-100 5.11 snv_101 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Solaris bash-3.2$ /usr/bin/python2.5 Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 7 2008, 06:24:02) [C] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Sans souci :) To lib/libxcb/Makefile I added MODULE_CONFIG_ENV=PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5 This should work, but the poor Blade 100 needs a few weeks until it comes to that point (because at first I want to polulate / initialize) my save-electricity second (24x7) workspace. I switched off the Blade 2000 now that I got my year-end power bill :-( -- %martin
