Thanks. Now we are getting somewhere. It was the "select" module that portage was complaining about, and when I compile python from source and install it I see this: gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I. -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2/./Include -I/u sr/local/include -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2/Include -I/home/andy/tmp/Python-2.2.2 -c /home/andy/t mp/Python-2.2.2/Modules/selectmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/selectmodule.o gcc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/selectmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.2/se lect.so WARNING: removing "select" since importing it failed Needless to say, python still does not have a select module after this python is installed. Now I need to figure out why it can't compile this and I may be part of the way towards fixing this. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
