#398 SphinxBase-0.8 compile error on Mac OS X 10.10

[Jamie Bullock]

Trying to build sphinxbase-0.8 on Mac OS X 10.10, I run

./configure

This succeeds.

Then when I run "make" it fails with the following error:

Thanks Nickolay,

In case anyone else finds this thread, what worked for me is to upgrade to the latest Python 2.7 (Intel build 10.6 or later).
