python25 doesn't install on clean MacPorts base version 1.520

[MacOSForge@…]

I’ve just re-installed Tiger on my PowerPC Mac Mini. I also installed a number of ports. The python25 port will not compile.

As you can see from the typescript session below, ports is updated to the most recent base version (1.520) and I’ve successfully installed a number of other ports. When I try to install the python25 port, I get a “libld64 failed” error.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I wonder why it's trying to build a ppc64 binary. The PowerPC Mac mini is a 32-bit machine, and even on 64-bit machines I'm led to believe that 64-bit binaries are only built upon special request, and I didn't think MacPorts made any such request.

Note also that port list installed does not do what you think it does; what you want is port installed.

Assigning ticket to port's maintainer.

What version of XCode do you have installed?

[wsiegrist@…]

I have the same problem on a fresh 10.4.11 install of MP v1.6 on a G4. I have Xcode 2.4.1 installed.

[wsiegrist@…]

Upgrading to Xcode 2.5 solved this problem for me.

[MacOSForge@…]

I had Xcode 2.4.1 installed, I upgraded to Xcode 2.5 and the problem went away.
