I just tried to build python 2.6a2 from svn trunk in FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. I get the same error messages as I do in Gentoo Linux: %%% Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 6, in <module> import sys, os, imp, re, optparse ImportError: No module named os gmake: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 Exit 2 %%% I have no PYTHON* variables set in my environment. On Gentoo, when I build using the ebuild / emerge system, I don't see this issue, nor do I see it with FreeBSD ports. Obviously they are doing something which differs from the instructions in the README, and it makes it difficult for me to submit patches for versions of Python other than those supported by the packaging systems, as I am sure you can understand. cheers BMS __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2574> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
