we already received this error report from another user, but not with the hint about the actual version of the python interpreter in $worksrcpath; neither Jann nor Elias nor I did encounter this particular error and we have been unable to reproduce it so far. We're investigating; please throw any hints my way!

I too have encountered this problem while building Python 2.4 with MacPorts.

My Mac's filesystem is case sensitive.

Mr. Beard, is your filesystem case sensitive?

There is logic in configure.in (and thus configure) that tests whether the filesystem is case INsensitive. On most Macs this test will evaluate to true but on my Mac it will evaluate to false. Could this difference be the source of the build failure and the fact that some aspects of the build expect "python.exe" to exist?

Hi, I think this is being looked into already, but I can confirm this. I am using two systems currently, one is case-insensitive (at work) and the other case-sensitive (at home). On my case-insensitive system the upgrade went smoothly, on the case-sensitive one it failed. This is probably some upstream issue, but I hope it can be patched here. ! !
