trial Twisted 8.0.1 as well according to bug 428307.

spent a good chunk of the day fighting with qm-centos5-moz2-01. I figured while I was updating buildbot and Twisted that I might as well update Python to 2.5.2 (from 2.5.1). Following the refplatform docs in http://wiki.mozilla.org/ReferencePlatforms/Linux-CentOS-5.0, I hit a snag building python during the make install phase.

The installation errors out with the following:

Compiling /tools/python-2.5.2/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/_exceptions.py ...
Compiling /tools/python-2.5.2/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/expatreader.py ...

make: *** [libinstall] Error 1

Machine has zlib and zlib-devel according to refplatform specs. I tried using both system-supplied gcc and version in /tools/gcc with same results.

bhearsum's suspicions of a modified PYTHONHOME / PYTHONPATH proved to be correct. The install script I was working with left those variables modified from one install to the next and corrupted the environment. The master on qm-moz2-unittest01 is done, moving onto qm-centos5-moz2-01.

qm-win2k3-moz2-01 is giving me the gears with twisted 8.0.1. I've had to downgrade to 2.5 on windows.
