Hi, Python! I build Python-2.6.4 on my GNU/Linux (Debian Sarge) box. I get a warning message "Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: .... _ssl ... RTFS to find out what!".
I need _ssl for an application. So, I look at setup.py in the top directory. It seems that _ssl needs to find certain .h files, but is looking in /usr/local/ssl and /usr/contrib (or subdirectories thereof). These look like highly non-standard directories. Either something is hugely amiss, or I'm missing some vital nugget of information (possibly through not being a Python hacker). Would somebody please give me a tip to get this sorted out?
