@chobie Thanks for your reply. This server has Python 2.4.3 - though I can dual install 2.7.3 if needed.
I wonder if that's it. Though would that cause a syntax error to be spit out of make?

having the same issue. Python is the newest version.

Upgrading gcc 4.1.2 to 4.4.7...still doesn't work

from php-git.

Python is the newest version.

what is your python version? at least clar requires 2.5 above.

from php-git.

like i said my python's version is 2.7

from php-git.

@onlinecco could you report specifically?
python also has 3.x version. so I can't figured out which version have you used.

It seems different problem at this time because you have used python 2.7.
for now, can you copy & paste your build error here?

from php-git.
