Python link errors

[George V. Reilly]

I did

$ git pull

$ make clean

$ ./configure --enable-gui=macvim --with-compiledby='George V. Reilly <geo...@reilly.org>'  --with-features=huge --enable-pythoninterp                                      \

$ make

I'm getting

$ python --version

Python 2.6.4

This is the most recent Python 2.6 from python.org, instead of the stock one from Apple, which worked the last time I built MacVim a few weeks ago.

The python from python.org does not contain 64bit binaries so to use
this version you'll need to build a 32bit MacVim.

That Python seems to be 32-bit only.
MacVim was configured for 64-bit build.

The name of that image is python-2.6.4_macosx10.3.dmg.

It's possible the last time you tried to build MacVim it was still configured for 32-bit build, so it worked with this 32-bit Python.

You'll need to decide whether you want 64-bit or 32-bit MacVim, then link it with a matching Python.

Adding --with-macarchs=i386 to the ./configure line and doing a clean build fixed the problem.
