If I try to install this package on my machine, and try running 'python', it causes a Segmentation fault. I noticed the problem when I was trying to compile the port for gnome-1.2. The port wouldn't compile if I had the above python package installed. I then installed python by removing the installed package and compiled python from its port in /usr/ports/lang/python. Everything worked fine then. Incidentally, the packages for gnome-1.2 at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/gnome/ are also incomplete. For example, there is no package for py-gnome-1.0.53 which is needed. I'm wondering if the reason again is that whoever tried to compile the package for gnome had the faulty python package installed on his/her system. >How-To-Repeat: Make sure you've removed all python packages. Then execute: pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/python-1.5.2.tgz followed by: python You'll see the segmentation fault. On the other hand, if the corresponding port is compiled from /usr/ports/lang/python and then python is installed from there, it works fine. >Fix: Just recompile python from its port /usr/ports/lang/python and recreate the package and put it out there instead of the buggy one. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
