Summary: dbm build fails

Initial Comment:
Trying a build with cvs source downloaded this morning.
I've been sure to do the configure --with-suffix=_ on
case-insensitive Mac OS X (10.1), but I'm having some
problem with the 'dbm' module.

Here's a copy of the messages:

Any suggestions? Anything I can change in my settings
to get past this?

Sorry, I've been busy. I've narrowed it down to being a
fink-related problem. My beige G3 without fink can build and
install python 2.2 just fine. The iBook WITH fink is what
doesn't like the gdbm thing. The odd part is that the fink
directories (/sw/*) are NOT part of my path while I'm doing
builds, but gdbm seems to be finding the extra files anyway.

bash-2.05$ echo $PATH
~/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin:/Users/jbuell/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

[localhost:/Users/jbuell] root# find / -name libgdbm.a -print
/sw/lib/libgdbm.a
/usr/local/lib/libgdbm.a
[localhost:/Users/jbuell] root# find / -name gdbm.h -print
/sw/include/gdbm.h
/usr/local/include/gdbm.h

Other than uninstalling fink, is there a way to get python's
build mechanism to completely ignore /sw and its subdirectories?

As the originator didn't follow up on my previous remark and everything works fine for me I'm closing this bug.

Note that the problem is with gdbm, not with dbm. Dbm seems to build fine (with a warning).

I've heard a report of this before. Needless to say, for me there is no problem whatsoever:-)

I think that the problem is that setup.py detects files that indicate to it that dbm is available while in
fact it is not. Could you check whether you have a libgdbm.a and/or a gdbm.h on your system somewhere?
