[Pythonmac-SIG] Does anyone on the planet know how to build python-2.5 (WITH READLINE)?

[Todd Thal]

I am having one "hades" of a heckuva time getting readline support for 
Python-2.5 on a Mac OS 10.4.8.8.0

with Xcode 2.3( Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0; RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh 
powerpc)

I can get readline-5.2 (finally) to compile and build...

Then I try build Python-2.5, with readline....by changing the 
/Modules/Setup file...to include readline...

and I always get the below-mentioned error.

I can NOT use the std' packages/path...as we use an absolute path for 
our server farm called,

"/usr/lanl"

EG

/usr/lanl/packages <- where python/scipy/numpy/readline src has gone.

/usr/lanl/bin

/usr/lanl/include

/usr/lanl/lib

/usr/lanl/man

This has been an EXTREME challenge on Mac 10.4

t.

NOTE: I attempted to copy all files (esp *.o) over to my Python build 
dir, and it still fails...the following error, was the error before 
doing that...

Here is the error:
