Hello Thomas and all...

I'm sorry to revive a dead thread but I've encountered an old ghost.
I checked the externals out of sourceforge this afternoon and when
building py/ext fail with the output pasted below. I found this exact
problem in the list archives (see http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-11/055895.html) . I'm on intel OSX 10.5, building with a working flext (built vasp w/ o issue), against a build-farm copy of PD. Thomas, you indicated that it is fixed in cvs... did I grab an older
version? Is there a more current cvs repository floating around
somewhere? I checked out the externals with this command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ pure-data co -P externals

Although there is this cryptic statement on the puredata.info website: Thomas Grill's externals and Flext: Thomas maintains his code in his
own repository.

Thanks, Julian Peterson
