[Edu-sig] Python 2.6.1 build problems
Hi, I am trying to build Python 2.6.1 (upgrade) on Ubuntu 8.10 in preparation for a class next week. When I try to build it from the source files I run into two problems. 1. The first (resolved) was: Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: bsddb185 sunaudiodev I was able to reslove this by using a patch python2.6-disable-old- modules.patch 2. The second and currently un-resolvable issue is that the build fails to link in tkinter. I can't quite figure this one out, since I thought that this was part of Python. *** WARNING: renaming _tkinter since importing it failed: libtk8.5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to build these modules: _tkinter running build_scripts ar...@arana-linux:~/Desktop/Python-2.6.1$ Is there anyone out there that has figured out how to get this build to finish? I've kinda run out of tricks! Arana ___ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig

I don't know enough about what packages you need for Ubuntu, but check into it; that may be the problem (than make clean ./configure, ) --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org ___ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig

Re: [Edu-sig] Python 2.6.1 build problems
To get a full build of Python 2.6 ( or Python 3, for that matter) you need to install the following packages: libsqlite3-dev libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev tk-dev This will give you a working IDLE...
