[Skencil-users] installing on Mac Intel, now a segfault problem

[W. Craig Carter]

Thanks, Joe, for the thoughtful response.

Some progress. Now the problem has shifted....

========
Correct python is in path (macintosh is unix and so uses the $path variable):
ccarter% which python
/sw/bin/python
ccarter% file /sw/bin/python
/sw/bin/python: symbolic link to `python2.3'
ccarter% file /sw/bin/python2.3
=======

========
Build sequence:

1. for PIL:
carter% sudo /sw/bin/python2.3 setup.py install
is successful, but *gives a message that it 
is "--- using frameworks at /System/Library/Frameworks"
which sounds like the mac native libraries.
The selftest.py script works fine though.
PIL.pth was created at /sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL.pth with
contents: PIL

2. For skencil
ccarter% sudo /sw/bin/python2.3 ./setup.py configure --imaging-include=/sw/include/python2.3/
carter% sudo /sw/bin/python2.3 ./setup.py build --imaging-include=/sw/include/python2.3/
carter% sudo /sw/bin/python2.3 ./setup.py install --imaging-include=/sw/include/python2.3/ --prefix=/sw/
================

Something changed, I no longer get the segfault, but:
from an xterm:
  ccarter% skencil
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Tk_Init error: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display":0.0"


I tried xhost +, but I am getting the same error. This now sounds like
an X11 problem. xcalc gets the same error!

I'll hunt this down.
