Hi!

When I do this I get:

esac
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./setup.py", line 1061, in ?
     class PyBuildInstallLib(install_lib):
   File "./setup.py", line 1067, in PyBuildInstallLib
     so_ext = sysconfig.get_config_var("SO")
   File "/Users/robert/Desktop/Python-2.4/Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py", 
line 509, in get_config_var
     return get_config_vars().get(name)
   File "/Users/robert/Desktop/Python-2.4/Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py", 
line 486, in get_config_vars
     func()
   File "/Users/robert/Desktop/Python-2.4/Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py", 
line 371, in _init_posix
     raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg)
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 
mismatch: now "" but "10.3" during configure
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1

Any suggestion?
