Installing Python 3000 on Leopard (Mac OS) fails...

[André]

While I made some progress in trying to install Py3k from source (for
the first time), it has failed...

Here are the steps I went through (not necessarily in that order -
except for those that matter).

1. After installing Leopard, install Xcode tools from the dvd - even
if you had done so with a previous version (they need to be updated -
trust me :-)

2. Download Python 3.0a1

3.  Unpack the archive.

4. Go to  /usr/local and make a directory "sudo mkdir py3k"   (This is
probably not needed, but that's what I did).

5. From the directory where the Python 3.0a1 was unpacked run
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/py3k

6. run "make"

This last step failed with the following error message:

gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-
madd -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  -I. -I./Include   -
DPy_BUILD_CORE  -c ./Modules/posixmodule.c -o Modules/posixmodule.o
./Modules/posixmodule.c: In function 'posix_setpgrp':
./Modules/posixmodule.c:3769: error: too few arguments to function
'setpgrp'
make: *** [Modules/posixmodule.o] Error 1

Any suggestions?
