• Assignee: Jim Gallacher

Description

Sgi IRIX 6.5.28
Originally reported by Zach McDanel:

Python 2.4.1, removed a reference in makefile to libmpc cause it was causing problems with mod_python compile and Apache 2.0.54
mod_python 3.1.4

this is the error I'm getting, I tracked down that it occurs in dist/Makefile

       ln -s ../lib/python/mod_python
Insufficient arguments
Usage: ln [-fis] file1 file2
       ln [-fis] file1 ... file2 dir
*** Error code 2 (bu21)
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

Further correspondence with Zach confirms that the behaviour of ln on IRIX is different than Linux or FreeBSD.

The fix is trivial. I'll commit the changes.
