That just can't be right. OS X is a BSD Unix: it would be a Cardinal sin
for it not to have select(). *grin*
On the other hand, that error doesn't really appear to be about select(),
as the computer is just giving a warning about the missing declaration.
I think it might be somewhere else. Do you mind cutting-and-pasting a bit
more of your compilation? Try searching for the phrase 'error:' rather
than 'warning:'.
You might also want to check with the pythonmac-sig about this problem:
http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/
Someone there should know more about the oddities in compiling Python and
Tk for your system.
Best of wishes to you!
