Hi All,

I have a project based on Zope3 which requires to have Python 2.3.4 on my Mac (OS X 10.3.6). The machine has the default Apple provided Python installed. I had tried several times but never managed to get it work, and after reading all available information on how to install Python on Mac, I am still not able to do it.

I issued the ./configure command (even tried with ./configure --with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld). At the middle I had received the following message (the one marked with ##)

... checking locale.h presence... yes checking for locale.h... yes checking ncurses.h usability... no checking ncurses.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to bug-autoconf at gnu.org. ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ## checking for ncurses.h... yes checking poll.h usability... no checking poll.h presence... no checking for poll.h... no checking pthread.h usability... yes ... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile.pre config.status: creating Modules/Setup.config config.status: creating pyconfig.h config.status: pyconfig.h is unchanged creating Setup creating Setup.local creating Makefile

The ./configure ended with no special error message.

After issuing the make command, I had received the following message (actually repeated several times)

... cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include" cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory

...

Then issued the "make clean", followed by "make" again .... and received

... Objects/fileobject.c: In function file_tell': Objects/fileobject.c:668: warning: implicit declaration of function getc_unlocked' Objects/fileobject.c: In function get_line': Objects/fileobject.c:1134: warning: implicit declaration of function flockfile' Objects/fileobject.c:1169: warning: implicit declaration of function funlockfile' ... /Users/zsoltputnoky/Temp/Python-2.3.4/Modules/expat/xmlparse.c:1719: warning: cdecl' attribute directive ignored /Users/zsoltputnoky/Temp/Python-2.3.4/Modules/expat/xmlparse.c:1731: warning: `cdecl' attribute directive ignored ...

I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what I did wrong or what can be the problem.

Thanks alot,
