I wouldn't worry about these binary packages. Usually under solaris compiling the source works fine. Download the source from this page: http://www.python.org/download/ It comes as a gzipped tar file. You can unpack it by issuing the command: gunzip -c Python-2.4.tgz | tar xvf - Change into the Python-2.4 directory and run the commands: ./configure make as "root" run the command: make install Python should install into /usr/local. The python interpreter should be /usr/local/bin/python. Since python is written in C, you do not need to use the Gnu C compiler to compile it, ./configure should find an appropriate C compiler, and everything should work fine. Feel free to reply if this series of steps does not work. Good luck, Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
