Issue 4585: Build failure on OS X 10.5.5: make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 (original) (raw)

You asked how my locale looked, I've got:

10-92-86-47:Python-3.0 nelis$ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL=

So I the LC_CTYPE is indeed UTF-8. I can also confirm that I can make if I first run `export LC_CTYPE="nl_BE.UTF-8"' (the setting a friend of mine has). I still get the following error, but I think it is unrelated and I can ignore it and go on:

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _gdbm ossaudiodev readline
spwd

Afterwards I have been playing around with internationalization a bit, trying to change the LC_CTYPE. Changing it to "United States (Computer)", or to "Belgium (Dutch)" changed the other locale settings to nl_be.UTF-8 but not the LC_CTYPE. The problem might be in OSX, but it is still strange that this makes building in python impossible.
