Please attach the output of sudo port -d install postgresql84 +python (after cleaning of course)

Um, I put that in the ticket. Did I not get it right?

Nevermind. Here you go.

WTF @ /Library/Frameworks//Python.framework/Python

[chairos@…]

What would really be awesome is if we could upgrade the port to use python26, not python25 (once python26 will build again, of course).

[chairos@…]

Well, I made a local ports repo and added a python26 variant, now that python26 works. Got the same error, with /Library/Frameworks//Python.framework/Python action going on. Gonna just build without plpython for now, but that's really weird.

[Veence (Vincent)]

I've tried it, it works for me. There is an issue with the universal build, but I'll report it in a separate ticket.

-> port installed postgresql84
The following ports are currently installed:
  postgresql84 @8.4.1_0+python+universal (active)

I've python26 installed

[chairos@…]

Still no luck here.

I had this problem until I removed an old MacPython installation in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, which was ppc/i386, not i386/x86_64. I did apply the changes Vince proposed (#21358). It seems to work now.

Since they seem to work and have not been integrated yet, I should maybe commit them?

8.4 has been eol'd ages ago, so everybody should be using a newer version anyway now.
