Following Martin v Löwis's suggestion, I looked at http://bugs.python.org/issue1358 and added the line #define SETPGRP_HAVE_ARG by hand to pyconfig.h (after it was created by configure). Then 6. run "make" 7. run "make test" (one test failed; this step likely unnecessary) 8. sudo make altinstall 9. sudo ln /usr/local/bin/py3k/python3.0 /usr/bin/python3.0 10. type "python" 11. print("Hello world!") 12. Be happy! André, hoping this report might help some other newbie. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
