py25-* package building on Leopard

[Brian Barnes]

Hello,

I have recently successfully installed py25-pyx (with texlive), py25- 
zlib, and py25-tkinter on Intel Leopard with macports 1.6.0.  There is  
an outstanding trac ticket regarding py25-zlib:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13406

In the ticket, an initial build failure is solved by either retrying  
the 'port install' command for py25-zlib, or examining the error  
message, going into the indicated directory, executing the desired  
command (also from the error message), leaving that directory and  
retrying the 'port install' command.

I would like to mention that today, I experienced that identical error  
with a different package, py25-tkinter.  The solution was exactly the  
same, too.  I thought it was curious enough to have the same kind of  
install error with two different python 2.5 packages that I'd mention  
it on the list, so that anyone else affected by this (perhaps with  
other packages) is aware of the simple workaround.

Macports on Leopard is working great.  Apple would be wise to promote  
this on their website, or throw some serious money behind it (if they  
haven't already)!  Thanks, maintainers.

Brian
