Message-ID: <mvhDyCnDu.BM9@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] References: <mvhDy7LD0.Er5@netcom.com> Date: Thu, 26 Sep 1996 17:03:29 GMT Lines: 19 Sender: mvh@netcom17.netcom.com Actually, I figured this out, with no input :) Python doesn't build because the 'makesetup' script doesn't work properly because 'sed' doesn't seem to work properly on this script. The sed invocation which replaces the sections "MARKER 1" and "MARKER 2" picks up all of the definition of the "MARKER 2" insert and includes it as part of the insert for MARKER 1, instead of using a separate entry, as the insert for MARKER 1 ends with an escaped newline. Adding a space to the end of each line in the sed call fixes this. I was building GCL with the wrong Tk/TCl combo.

Can : anyone give me a hint as to why these won't build? I didn't have any : problems with 2.1 ports...
