[Pythonmac-SIG] [4suite-dev] Build Errors on Mac OS X (Tiger)

[Jeremy Kloth]

I'm CC'ing 4suite and pythonmac-sig to hopefully have someone there with a 
concrete answer.

What Python version are you using, stock Apple, MacPython 2.4 or custom?  I 
think that PythonTigerFix(?) may fix this?  I have no idea personally, just 
what I've read on pythonmac-sig.

I'm sorry to say that we do not actively develop on or for MacOSX.  We try to 
keep our software working on it, of course, but rely on user contributions 
and whatever testing is possible on SF's compile farm (which is only 10.2).
