*** The make has failed, do you want to try to make again? (y,n):

Is python installed?

cd /usr/ports/lang/python2.5
make install clean

OS FreeBSD 7.2 amd64

same error

python installed

pkg_info | grep python

#python25-2.5.4_1

buddy update script did not full support FreeBSD.

It works fine with that solution...


Thanks

I also use FreeBSD 7.2 64. When will we see an upgrade from DirectAdmin so we can update our software?

I have the same problem as the ts but your solution didn;t solve it?

This is a mess

Hello,

Thanks to IT_Architect for reporting this issue to me.
I've added --without-python to the libxml2 configure line which bypasses the error. The reasons it didn't show up on our build system is because python is not installed at all, so libxml2 decided not to include it at all. If the python binaries are avaiable, then I'm guessing it assumes the headers and libraries are also there, which isn't true, hence the error.

I've updated both custombuild 1.1 and 1.2 with the --without-pyton option, so doing a "./build update" will get you the new code.

Perfect! I can do my updates again.

Thanks Tons!
