Hello All, I am very new to Python, trying to install it from source (ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/SOURCES/python-2.3.3.tar.gz) on Sun Solaris-9 (SPARC). But getting the below error message during configure. Also while uncompressing, it is returning the checksum doesnt match error as well.
Configure Error: config.status: error: cannot find input file: Modules/Setup.config.in untar error: . . . . . . x Python-2.3.3/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/doc, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks x Python-2.3.3/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/doc/index.html, 882 bytes, 2 tape blocks x Python-2.3.3/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks x Python-2.3.3/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide/index.html, 9909 bytes, 20 tape blocks x Python-2.3.3/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide/IDE.gif, 10249 bytes, 21 tape blocks tar: directory checksum error Can someone help me understand why it is returning error, Also I do not 'root' privileges on the server that i am trying install. So I will be installing my home directory. Thank You, Madhu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
