The other subports build fine.

I removed python 2.5 as a supported version. See r99061.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

That means we have to remove 2.5 as a supported version from all ports using py-tables; done in r99071.

Are you aware that the ctypes in python25 builds on every arch except x86_64?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I was not aware of that, no.
