Chris thanks!! other members:
I read this: - http://chrismiles.livejournal.com/25648.html I did this: - install mac ports - port install readline - vi setup.py def detect_modules(self): # Ensure that /usr/local is always used add_dir_to_list(self.compiler.library_dirs, '/opt/local/lib') add_dir_to_list(self.compiler.include_dirs, '/opt/local/include') - configure --prefix=/pt/p - make - make install I'm happy now!
