Using gcc4

[scottmc]

it looks like maybe your python install got messed up. Perhaps try reinstalling it was installoptionalpackage? You might have to remove it from the installed list and then try to reinstall it.

[mbaluta]

I've reinstalled python with installoptionalpackage, but still get the same error.

[mbaluta]

Changed to gcc2 and there are no problems.

[scottmc]

ok, so changing the summary to reflect the build issue is only with gcc4

[scottmc]

haikuporter -c -d mercurial-1.7.3 builds just fine on a plain gcc4 Haiku r40978.
So this could be a hybrid issue with Haiku.
