It seems not. Unless we do some patch, right? > A quick look at the configure script makes me think you should pass > PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python to configure, NOT PYTHON=2.7 Done. It says yet that "checking if /usr/local/bin/python >=2.5" and no. According to configure, 2.7 < 2.5.... I tried with several newer releases of glib too, this script says yet "2.7 < 2.5".

I guess installing python 2.5 without any instructions isn't so easy. Moreover, it's strange that configure sees python 2.7 < 2.5. I think either this package should be patched, or the dependency in the book should be python2.5 with a link to instructions for python2.5. > ĸen > -- > das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page - Jean-Philippe MENGUAL Président de l'association traduc.org Coordinateur du projet Linux From Scratch Coordinateur au sein du projet Trad GNU de l'April Animateur suppléant du groupe de travail Accessibilité de l'April Le mercredi 19 décembre 2012 à 01:06 +0000, Ken Moffat a écrit : > On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 01:20:19AM +0100, Jean-Philippe MENGUAL wrote: > > Hi, > > > > This package depends on Python2.7.
