Replying to jmr@…:

Works fine on 10.6 here, FWIW.

can anyone else confirm this? i've just force upgrade tk and tcl as well and it still with the same problem.

running the python2.5 come with snow leopard works but i need some others libraries from macports.

[lapcchan@…]

ok i tried on my other imac at home which is also upgraded to snow leopard. install xcode and macports then 'port install python25'. everything works fine.

i then uninstall everything from macports and do it all over again but it still with the same error. any idea? i did 'port uninstall installed' then trash the whole directory /opt before reinstall.

[lapcchan@…]

since uninstall everything from macport didn't work and it seems no one having the same problem. i decided to reinstall a fresh snow leopard and it fix the problem.

pls close this ticket, thanks
