py-geoip fails to build

upon port install py-geoip, I get:

What version of python24 do you have installed?

[benjamin.winston@…]

lol! I take it that's a leading question! Since the answer is:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

So I should be using the ports python then? :-)

[benjamin.winston@…]

Hmm... I've switched /usr/bin/python linkage to point instead now to /opt/local/bin/python2.4, run port py-geoip clean and then port py-geoip install again, and same problem:

Could it be a problem with my xcode? I've just tried building py-mysql and same problem. Clearly it's my fault and not the package maintainers - but wtf have I done wrong?

[benjamin.winston@…]

Okay, this is now resolved, it was my fault. Since this now comes to the top of a google search for the failed shell variable, I will share (for the macports n00bs, like myself) what I did:

1) I was running the wrong python, I was using the mac os x installed python 2.5, rather than the macports package python24. I have a leopard system that was upgraded from tiger, and the former was located in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5, then linked to from /usr/bin/python. I re-linked this to point to /opt/local/bin/python2.4 I assume this made a difference but I haven't tested it - so far as the actual *use* of python in the build goes.

2) (and probably much more importantly ;-) I was running an out-of-date python24 package from macports. To update this, I first ran a "sudo port -v selfupdate", then I ran a "sudo port -R upgrade python24" which rebuilt and upgraded my python 2.4 to the latest version.

3) I then installed the modules I was looking for, including py-geoip and py-mysql. Since I saw this (cryptic?) error on two different modules, it's likely that you, my google-found-friend have a problem similar to mine. "sudo port install py-mysql" and "sudo port install py-geoip".

Could someone with the power please apply the action "mark as just-another-lamer" below, as I only have "leave as new".

RESOLVED.

Glad you got it working!
