Tell them to read the section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" of the manual to autoconf-2.59. They have misconfigured the bug report address in AC_INIT, so also tell them to change it to *their* bug report address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-03-14 22:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Thanks for the report! Looking at the file, I see In file included from configure:4766: /usr/include/ncurses.h:289: error: conflicting types for 'wchar_t' /usr/include/stdlib.h:58: error: previous declaration of 'wchar_t' was here So it looks like your system has conflicting definitions of wchar_t, one in ncurses.h, and one in stdlib.h. I thought I had seen this before, but I cannot find a resolution. You might want to report this to the FreeBSD people. As for the autoconf manual hint: they propose to perform further includes to make the header compilable. However, since the header is truly broken, this is no solution. As for the hint to change the bug reporting address: I have now done this, and committed this change as configure.in 1.475.2.7 configure 1.462.2.7 configure.in 1.483 configure 1.470 Closing the report as fixed, 3rd party. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Brooksby (rptb1) Date: 2005-03-14 11:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=927536 Sorry if the text isn't helpful -- I'm just following instructions.

Please attach the config.log. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1160534&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
