I just downloaded the Python 2.5.2 source tar, and tried to build it on a Solaris 11 machine with the SunPro 8 compiler (Sun CC 5.5), and failed: % ./configure [...] creating Modules/Setup creating Modules/Setup.local creating Makefile % make cc -c -DNDEBUG -O -I. -IInclude -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Modules/python.o ./Modules/python.c "/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h", line 353: #error: "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications and pre-2001 POSIX applications" cc: acomp failed for ./Modules/python.c *** Error code 2 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Modules/python.o' % So maybe Python just doesn't run on Solaris with the Sun C compiler. Certainly doesn't build out of the box.
