[Visualpython-users] VPython on OS X, steps forward and otherwise

[Dethe E. <de...@li...>]

The following incantation has allowed me to compile visual (fresh  
checkout from vpython-core2) once I got all the dependencies  
installed and made sure my paths had /sw/bin first:

#!/bin/sh -ex
   rm config.guess
   rm config.sub
   rm ltmain.sh
   sh ./autogen.sh
   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/ 
xft2/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig
   export PYTHON=/sw/bin/python2.5
   export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -finline-functions"
   export CFLAGS='-O3'
   ./configure --prefix=/sw --disable-dependency-tracking
    make

Unfortunately,  when I go into python after building and installing,  
I get this:

 >>> from visual import *
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort trap

Not sure why this is, but my config.log doesn't look right.  I've  
attached both that file and my src/build.log.  That's all I can do  
for today, maybe I'll make more progress tomorrow.  Any suggestions  
welcome.
