I see the following error trying to build libplist.

Frank,
It's going to take me a few days to set up a 10.6 VM now that I'm on 10.7.
If you come to a solution before then, feel free to post and/or commit it.

Cheers,
Ryan Stonecipher

libplist 1.8 builds fine for me on OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2.6 so it's something unique to Frank's system.

The error seems to be:

:info:build /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers/pyport.h:761:2: error: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."

Where did /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework come from? It should be removed. Frameworks not provided by MacPorts installed in /Library/Frameworks frequently cause problems. Duplicate of #27094.
