While trying to build py-expat from from the port in textproc I got the error "file pyexpat.c does not exist" and indeed file does not exist in this port. It exists in py-xml, though. So I tried to copy this file in the subdirectory. The port py-expat seems not content with the pyexpat.c, though and compilation breaks out with the messages of the kind that some strucutres do not contain the claimed members and so on. For some strange reason py-expat keeps stubbornly on version 1.5.2 of Python, the version installed via /usr/ports/lang/python is 2.2.1. The Makefile defines variable $PYTHON_PORTVERSION but where does it get its value from? So what can and should be done to solve the problem? Yours sincerely Ariel Burbaickij PS Should more information be necessary I will be glad to provide it.
