I can't answer the question about univeral binaries because I'm not
building it myself. As a software developer I can build our software
releases on the Solaris boxes but I have to ask one of the sysadmins to
install new software on there and the one tring to install Python for us
ran into problems.
Thanks for the comments - I will take a look at that patch and see if it
helps. However, from the sound of it I think the next step may be for me
to either sit with him or build it myself and then tell him what he needs
to do.
Whatever we end up doing I will try to post an update on here about how
we resolve this.
Thanks,
Judy
