No worries, I'm glad you bumped this thread. I'm still seeing the  
traceback on startup (exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has  
no attribute 'ssl_test'), although they haven't affected my use of  
Twisted. Just annoying to see, that's all.

What kind of build problems are you having? I just updated/installed  
SVN HEAD without much of a problem using `python setup.py develop`.

I do see the following issues during compilation, which cause the  
epoll reactor to fail. I don't use the epoll reactor, so I haven't  
bothered trying to fix it:

Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DENABLE_DTRACE -arch i386 -arch ppc -
