[Pythonmac-SIG] configure failing with Python 2.4 (original) (raw)

I actually just installed Xcode this morning. I do have Fink installed, but removed it from my path when I moved my bashrc and profile aside. I also had confirmed that gcc is in /usr/bin.

gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)

That's what struck me as odd here... there's nothing very out of the ordinary that I'm aware of.

As I thought about it some more, I may just use my existing python 2.3 until there's an official MacPython 2.4 release.

Reinstall Xcode and/or make sure you aren't using Fink or something which may have installed an alternate compiler (make sure "which cc" and "which gcc" point to /usr/bin).

Err, while this might be enough info for someone to go on, I just realized that there's not much there...

I'm running Mac OS 10.3.6. I have XCode/Developer Tools installed, though that didn't seem to make any difference. I even tried moving my .bashrc and .profile files out of the way to be sure that those weren't causing any grief. Kevin Kevin Dangoor wrote:

I'm thinking that I must be doing something simple wrong... hopefully that's the case.

I downloaded the Python 2.4 source and tried to run a basic ./configure to see what I get. What I got was this error: checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables which appears to be caused by configure:1772: c++ conftest.cc >&5 ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt1.o While I'm sure I can track that down, I figured that I must be doing something silly. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks, Kevin
