Hi Luc, We don't usually see problems with the bootstrap script on mac. What specific command did you run? As recently as yesterday I ran this successfully: $ svn export svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/cctbx/code/trunk/libtbx/auto_build/bootstrap.py $ python bootstrap.py --builder=dials I am just trying again now (it does take some time to download and build all the Python dependencies). What is the output of 'which python' before you run the bootstrap script? Do you have any peculiarities with your setup on your mac? You can also try adding the --with-python=/path/to/python option to skip building Python and use the Python you already have. You may also want to add the options --cciuser=CCIUSER --sfuser=SFUSER --git-ssh to the bootstrap command.

There does seem to be something really quite wrong with the latest clang :-( I would love to give you a hand with dials but the bootstrap.py fails to compile Python. Specifically it fails to compile the Mac toolbox glue: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Headers/CGFont.h:53:40: error: initializer element is not constant static const CGFontIndex kCGGlyphMax = kCGFontIndexMax; How did you manage? -- This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential, copyright and or privileged material, and are for the use of the intended addressee only.
