Hi all, For the benefit of all Jaguar (10.2) users, here is the complete steps I followed to compile and install readline 4.3, postgres 7.2.2, mxDateTime 2.0.4 and psycopg 1.0.12. All were compiled from the source tarballs available from the respective web sites. Preliminary steps ----------------- 1. cd /usr/lib/python2.2/config 2. Edit Makefile (with sudo), look for the line that begins "LDFLAGS=". In mine it is line 62. 3. If the line reads: LDFLAGS= -arch i386 -arch ppc change it to: LDFLAGS= -arch ppc In other words, remove the errant "-arch i386". Why that is there only the people at Apple know. Maybe they did a build of Darwin on x86 and forgot to remove that flag in the final build. 4. Save the changes. readline -------- 1. After untarring, cd into readline-4.3/support 2. Edit shobj-conf and find the section that begins with "# Darwin/MacOS X". The section begins with "darwin*|macosx*)" and ends with ";;". 3. Copy that whole section and then paste it below the ";;" at the end of the section but before the "openbsd*)" starting the next section. This will be a new darwin6 section. 4. Go back to the top of the original and change "darwin*|macosx*)" to "darwin[0-5]*)". 5. Go to the top of the new darwin6 section and change "darwin*|macosx*)" to "darwin6*)". 6. In the darwin6 section, look for the line that begins with "SHLIB_XLDFLAGS=". 7. Towards the end of that line, change "$(SHLIB_MAJOR)" to "$(SHLIB_MAJOR).2". 8. The next line should read: SHLIB_LIBS='-lSystem' Change it to this: SHLIB_LIBS='-lSystem -lcc_dynamic -lncurses' 9. Save you changes, cd up one level, and then: ./configure make make install Ignore any warnings about duplicate symbols. The readline libs will now be installed in /usr/local/lib. postgres -------- 1. After untarring the source and cd into the postgres directory, do the following: cd src/include/port/darwin mv sem.h sem.orig.h echo '#include <sys/sem.h>' > sem.h cd ../../../backend/port 2. Edit Makefile.in, look for the 3 lines in the beginning section: ifeq ($(PORTNAME), darwin) OBJS += darwin/SUBSYS.o endif 3. Delete or comment out those lines and save your changes. 4. Now do the following: cd ../../.. ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --with-openssl=/usr/lib --enable-recode make make install make install-all-headers mxDateTime ---------- I had no problems with this. After untarring, cd into the egenix directory and do the following: python setup.py install To install in a Zope python, it would be: <zope>/bin/python setup.py install where <zope> is your Zope directory. psycopg ------- Finally we can compile psycopg! 1. After untarring, cd into psycopg and do the following: setenv LDFLAGS -lssl This is in tcsh, do the equivalent in your shell to set the LDFLAGS environment variable. 2. Now do this to configure: For the default Apple python: ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --with-postgres-libraries=/usr/local/pgsql/lib --with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include --with-mxdatetime-includes=/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mx/ DateTime/mxDateTime For a Zope python: ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --with-postgres-libraries=/usr/local/pgsql/lib --with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include --with-mxdatetime-includes=<zope>/lib/python2.1/site-packages/mx/ DateTime/mxDateTime --with-python=<zope>/bin/python where <zope> is your Zope directory. 3. If this works: make make install That's all there is to it! ;-) Aparajita Victory-Heart Productions aparajita@aparajitaworld.com www.aparajitaworld.com
