Nick Dowell <nickdow...@gmail.com> added the comment: We've just noticed this same problem with Python 3.1.2 on Mac OS X.
The problem is that the program source in the configure script has extraneous '[' and ']' characters in it, causing compilation to fail. Excerpt of configure from line 17357: cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF /* end confdefs.h. */ [ #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char*argv[]) { if(chflags(argv[0], 0) != 0) return 1; return 0; } ] _ACEOF These extra '[' and ']' characters were added to configure.in in revision 74038: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/configure.in?r1=74033&r2=74038 I have locally modified my configure.in and configure scripts to back out that change, and found it resolves the issue. ---------- nosy: +Nick.Dowell _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8746> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
