[vtkusers] Anyone Compile for python on Mac OS X 10.3 panther?

[Frank Lindseth]

Hi Sheehan,

I guess you are using the Python that came with the system.
Try adding a link from /Library/Frameworks (the place for the old full  
framework install)
to /System/Library/Frameworks/ (the place for the new preinstalled  
python framworks)
[sule:/Library/Frameworks] frankl% ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin   43 26 Nov 00:04 Python.framework ->  
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
drwxrwxr-x   6 root  admin  204 14 Nov 10:40 StuffIt.framework
drwxr-xr-x  11 root  admin  374 28 Oct 15:13 Tcl.framework
dr-xr-xr-x  11 root  admin  374 28 Oct 15:13 Tk.framework

Judging  from my ongoing build this might do the trick.
As for the reason, I'm not sure, isn't /System/Library/Frameworks/ in  
the path?, is
/Library/Frameworks hardcoded somewhere?
Please comment.

Best regards,
Frank
