I hope I showed the problem in detail in my previous mail.

FreeBSD also has 2.4 in the ports tree (now at python-2.4.1_3). But as
earlier said, the c++ code in the gameengine triggers the "<vector>
"Python.h" <iostream.h>" include order which fails with python-2.4 and
works fine with earlier python versions.

So this is not true for FreeBSD.

I'd like to know if the following triggers the same errors on other
platforms that also use gcc 3.4.2 and python 2.4 :

cat a.c

    #include <vector>
    #include "Python.h"
    #include <iostream.h>

g++ -I/usr/local/include/python2.4 a.c

gives as (first) error :

/usr/include/c++/3.4/bits/localefwd.h:58: error: `std::isspace' declared as an `inline' variable
