How can I correct this pwd error?

The pertinent output from the /etc/passwd file is ==>

Re: Installation - make test - pwd failure

I tested this on FreeBSD 4.9, 5.3, and 6.0 using:
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Dec 5 2005, 23:05:02)
[GCC 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728] on freebsd5
(from my 5.3 system)

and it worked correctly on all of them.

Try
make install
and retrying...

I noticed the /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object
"libpython2.4.s o.1" not found when running from the build dir, and got
rid of it by using:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/curtis/wrk/python2.4.2
# in csh
where
/home/curtis/wrk/python2.4.2
was my build directory.

I don't recall the pwd error when I tested.

I used as my test:[color=blue]
> python[/color]
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Dec 5 2005, 23:05:02)
[GCC 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728] on freebsd5
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import pwd
>>> pwd.getpwnam('c urtis')[/color][/color][/color]
('curtis', '*', 1001, 1001, 'Curtis W. Rendon', '/home/curtis',
'/bin/csh')

Re: Installation - make test - pwd failure

Thanks Curtis

It was a problem in the passwd file itself, the entry was made by an
automated script and must have contained a problem. Removing the entry
solved the problem.

Thanks again
