Is it actually trying to compile the entire extension module, or are you just seeing the output from the attempt to compile the test program used to detect sys/poll.h? Last time I tested it, if sys/poll.h did not exist it would not build the extension module, but you would see an compiler error during the sys/poll.h detection. I couldn't find anything in distutils to "check for C headers" so if anyone knows of a better way (than what is currently in setup.py) feel free to change it. You shouldn't need to comment out certain bits in setup.py. The conftest looks for sys/poll.h, and I even get a message from setup.py about no cReactor available for the system. It then attempts to build cReactor and fails.
Should have thought of just commenting out cReactor, need more caffeine this morning. thanks, bob.
