hello again Kris,
well, i wasn't sure how to determine whether my installed version of python
(2.3.3_5) had been built with threads ('man python' didn't yield anything
helpful). because 'with threads' is the default setting in the python
Makefile, i presume it had been, but i decided nevertheless to
portupgrade to the latest and greatest version (2.3.4) simply for good
measure.
tried rebuilding, no dice.
while reading the qtorrent Makefile, i noted the build/run dependencies are
upon py-qt not 'vanilla' python. though the py-qt Makefile makes no
mention of valid build switches, i decided to rebuild it and define
'--WITH_THREADS=yes'. no error messages. either the switch worked
or it was ignored.
well, i'm not sure if it was portupgrading python or the 'with threads'
switch on py-qt, but the good news is that qtorrent now builds and
installs.
i should probably have managed to figure this one out solo, but was
a little confused by the error message which suggested compiling python
with 'default' settings -- how mine must have been installed (unless
the port, which originally installed python as a dependency, set something
other than default). anyhow, thanks for nudging me in the right direction.
cheers,
epi
