Re: still probs to compile python-ldap on macosx

[Michael E. <men...@ka...>]

Just curious, does this now build without any errors on the python2.2  
that is installed by the developer tools?

I'm one of the ones who was able to build the library with my stock 
10.2 OS X and Dev Tools.  It errored out during the build phase but 
build install still installed the library and it works fine.
