[Pythonmac-SIG] install problems

[Bruce Sherwood]

In the service of the VPython project (http://vpython.org), we are trying 
to compile Python 2.2 from source on a Mac. "Out of the box" we can't get 
compiles to work.

We take the source for Python 2.2 and for GUSI2, and try to build using 
Metrowerks 7.0. We can't get GUSI to build because we get lots of compile 
errors. We can't build Python because it needs to link some missing GUSI 
libraries.

We also got Python by CVS from sourceforge and tried to build, but an 
attempt to build gives large numbers of errors talking about missing files. 
The project settings for access paths in fact look wrong, listing only 
(Project): and (Compiler):.

We thought we saw various statements about being able to compile "out of 
the box" (and also that the CVS download would give us everything, 
including GUSI files). Help?

Thanks.
