Hi guys and gals, Quick progress update: I Googled about and found this article: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg38088.html I noticed that it made reference to the correct 2.5 library framework, so I recompiled mod_python with the following set of instructions: $ export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-F/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ $ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python $ make $ sudo make install Restarted Apache, and got the following message again: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_python.so into server: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python\n Referenced from: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_python.so\n Reason: image not found Again, it still references 2.3. So there must still be some obscure reference somewhere, pointing the configure script to the older framework version. Any OSX/Unix jedi's out there that shed some light on this, or any suggestions on locations I should be looking for this reference? I'd just like to add to Cindys previous comment that I too have had nothing but positive experiences with OSX, and it certainly has eased the "fear" of Unix/Linux systems for me. However, it is my understanding that mod_python is relatively new (I not sure if this truely is the case, but it certainly is the image projected), and that whilst it works and is production ready, it's not in the PHP/Ruby+Rails click-click-click install phase just yet. Personally, I understood that using mod_python would require that I roll my sleeves up and get elbow deep in the terminal, but then I'm personally having a whale of a time trying to sort this out and get it working on OSX. But maybe thats just me :) anyways, I'll keep poking away at this and posting my results! Cheers!
