Computer: Mac OS: Tiger 10.4.2 When attempting to install Python 2.4, I get the following error message in the "configure" stage: "checking size of int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int), 77" config.log is attached. Many thanks, Bob

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Are you using the standard version of gcc that comes with Tiger? I noticed in the log it says ``gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 20050517 (experimental)`` and I thought Tiger had gcc 4.0 (I can't check right now since I am at work), let alone came with a non-experimental version. Regardless, I don't see how it could be the configure files fault since Python does not have any control over the C compiler being able to determine the size of int.

Logged In: YES user_id=1313508 I am using the gcc I downloaded from Gaurav Khanna's HPC site. Thanks for the lead. I'll try going back to a non-experimental version of gcc. Bob

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 As one can see from config.log, this is a fault in the GCC 4.1.0 header files. The file "machine/ansi.h" is missing. Closing as Invalid.
