impossible to build py-ogg-1.3

[stb@…]

When trying to run python setup.py build, the different modules seem to compile fine, but at link stage, the error "ld: multiple definitions of symbol _Py_OggError" is produced. It looks like _Py_OggError is defined in every module. The behaviour is the same when building from the source downloaded from vorbis.com.

could you please tell me: -which version of OS-X do you use? -which version of Python do you use? [the one that gets involved when you type python at the prompt]

it works here for me on 10.3 with Python 2.3 (from DarwinPorts)

I can reproduce this, on 10.3.2, gcc 3.3, python 2.3 (with the OS, not DP). It dies when trying to build _ogg.so:

Rats. I can't find any duplicate declarations of *OggError in the .c files nor multiple declarations by implicite includes. As it won't make much sense installing the python modules outside site-packages dir of the Python used, I'll change the dep. of all py- modules to path:${prefix}/bin/python, so that a DP Python will be needed.
