There are two things I don't like about messages you got. > checking for g++ ... no
and > C++ compiler cannot create executables There are two possibilities I can think of now. The first is you have no g++ installed. In this case you should install it (I think it would be very easy, you could install it from the proper deb package). The second is there is a working g++, but ./configure fails to detect it. BTW: Have you tried to compile a simple C program by yourself? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
