Question

I start in the Vim src directory

$ pwd
~/vim/src
$ ./configure \
> --prefix=$HOME/Applications/vim-compiled \
> --enable-rubyinterp=yes \
> --enable-pythoninterp=yes \
> --with-python-config-dir=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config
$ make

At the end of make, I get the following error

ld: warning: in /Library/Frameworks//Python.framework/Python, missing required architecture x86_64 in file
Undefined symbols:
<very long list of Undefined symbols>
...
...
...
<very long list of Undefined symbols>
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [vim] Error 1

What’s causing the error? I’ve found answers in similar questions that advise using MacPorts, Homebrew, or MacVim. I don’t want to use any of those. Is there some other way around?

UPDATE: This is the output listing the Undefined symbols http://pastebin.com/ggV87ReF

Answer 1

Have you tried upgrading to the OSX 32-bit/64-bit version of Python 2.7.2? I’m not sure if there was a specific 64-bit version of 2.7, and that might be causing problems.
