Hello I sent this e-mail to the python-help list but I'm not sure if that list is active... so I post it again here:
I'm trying to build Python 2.6.2 from the sources downloaded from the python official site on OpenSuSE 11.1 (32 bit). After installation the python command line interpreter seems to run ok, but when I try to install setuptools I get: u...@linux-ba2a:~/tmp> bash setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg --install-dir=/home/user/python/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/user/tmp/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 15, in <module> File "/home/user/tmp/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /home/user/python/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/operator.so: undefined symbol: _PyUnicodeUCS2_AsDefaultEncodedString To compile Python I executed: ./configure --prefix=/home/user/python ./make ./make install The compile process seems to be ok, so I'm kind of clueless :-( Any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
