Re: Unable to build libpython2.5.so on OS X 10.4
Christian, Thanks for the response. I knew about the .dylib suffix, but that's not being built either, even when I supply the --enable-shared option to configure. I also tried the --enable-unicode configure option, but no joy. Might there be some additional OS X package I need to install to get this to work?

Re: Unable to build libpython2.5.so on OS X 10.4
Hi Ned. The Python module I am building is actually the Python module for ROOT, a large package from CERN. However, the problem arises before that code enters the picture, when I am building Python itself. All I want to do is create "libpython2.5.dylib", or its equivalent, and I can't seem to make that happen on Tiger.
