I have a lot to do with Python and SCO but I never got above Python2.2 but that probably relates to the fact that I need to statically link some libraries into python. My notes on this subject are that if you need dynamic linking configure has a problem finding libdl.so, and that therefore you have to use the compiler flag "-b elf", before you do ./configure. I do it with: CC=cc CFLAGS="'-b elf"'
If you already have done a configure, you might need to do "make clean" and possibly delete config.cache to make sure configure starts from scratch. Regards, Richard Sharp -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
