python25 build failure

[asbjorn@…]

Trying to install Python 2.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.5 yields the following error:

Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py ...
Compiling /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_aul_dports_lang_python25/work/destroot/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1
Warning: the following items did not execute (for python25): org.macports.activate org.macports.destroot org.macports.install
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I know OS X 10.5 is already equipped with Python 2.5, but I need it in MacPorts to be able to install ports requiring Python 2.5.

That snippet of output doesn't have much to go on. Try running sudo port -d install python25 > python25.log 2>&1 and attach the resulting log.

Python 2.5 installation log

Uploaded the log file. After doing what the log file says at the end:

sudo port install python_select  
sudo python_select python25

Python 2.5 now seems to be installed successfully. Weird. The port I want installed is cvs2svn, so doing the same there, first yielded an error about py25-hashlib and py25-zlib not installing correctly. Manually installing those with the same procedure first and then cvs2svn after, yielded success and cvs2svn is now installed.

Not sure what to make of that, but the problems started while trying to install cvs2svn directly without any of the dependencies in place first. Do you have any explanations to this?

Probably the Tcl environment bug on Leopard.
