Dwight added the comment: Thanks for the response. What is the "AIX tester"? Appreciate the explanation of what might be causing the problem. I do have at least three other version of python installed on my AIX 7.1 system. Have no idea if these versions produced "test" errors. These version of python were supplied to me. The only reason I am trying to create a new version of python is because when I tried to build a gnome module which is required to build gtk+ is did not like any of the version of python that I have installed. The only reason that I am asking about these test failures is because I have no idea if they will cause problems in all my follow on builds. firefox acts funny in AIX (maybe other UNIX builds)! Somewhere in the final linked module there are bugs that can cause firefox to hang. Just wanted to make sure everything up to the point before the build of firefox is OK. As you probably know mozilla will not provide any support in my efforts to build a working firefox. (Not sure I can even build a working version. Definitely not a C++ programmer and am just a novice C programmer. Need to eliminate all possible of errors I can.) I really need a working browser. (I have an open PMR with AIX support because firefox can not access the online documentation for AIX. Just great. Documentation is only available online and I can not get to it. AIX support say they do not support firefox so it my fault I can not access the online documentation.) I guess I could just install python and continue trying to build firefox. Oh! By the way. Do you know if when I install this version of pyhton the gmake install will remove the older version of pyhton? Not talking about the AIX or Linux toolkit version; but the one that is installed in the directory where I will be installing this version of python.
Appreciate the help!
