i'm having trouble installing mercurial 1.5 (build 20100307) from the prebuilt installer on os x 10.5.8. the installer is halting telling me that i need to install python 2.6 to continue. i've installed the latest version of python (2.6.5) twice now but its not helping.
which python
is reporting /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python
, but i can see that i also have 2.3 and 2.5 in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
directory, which i suspect is being picked up by the installer ahead of the 2.6 install.
if possible i'd like to install mercurial and python without having to resort to MacPorts, but if that is the only option then so be it :)
