I have a SUSE 10.3 OS I have the original python 2.5.1 loaded from the suse rpm.
I have tried installing Python 3.0rc1 using the standard make technique with the "altinstall" variation. I don't want to replace my 2.5.1. I just want to try out the new Python 3.0. I have successfully installed the new version, but not the following modules. Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _curses _curses_panel _dbm _gdbm _hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter bz2 readline zlib My original 2.5.1 version supports these modules, but the 3.0 does not. My older rpm version is installed in /usr/bin. I have installed the new Python 3.0 in /usr/local/bin. It seems that the make process cannot find some of the shared libraries. Is there some way to change the install process ( make, config files or whatever) to pick up support for these missing modules??
