I just noticed this error message during configure:

checking whether gcc accepts -Olimit 1500... no checking whether gcc supports ParseTuple format... no checking whether pthreads are available without options... yes checking whether g++ also accepts flags for thread support... no checking for ANSI C header files... rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory yes checking for sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/stat.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes Note the "rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory". This occurred a few times during the configure process. Didn't cause it to conk out, but is annoying.

I am assuming this is on your OS X machine, Skip? I have been getting that message for a while on my OS X machine as well. Same with some linking message when building ctypes. Never bothered to debug them since they never seemed to affect anything.
