Hello Mark, thank you a lot for your hints, I compiled python using
the --enable-unicode=ucs4 parameter in configure and I could
successfully install setuptools (Anyway I'm a little suspicious about
my compiled binaries...).
You are right about the environment variables, I have set PYTHONPATH
and PYTHONHOME to:
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/python/lib/python2.6/site-packages
PYTHONHOME=$HOME/python
The compiler issued some warnings, two of them (related to Unicode)
called my attention:
In file included from Python/formatter_unicode.c:13:
Python/../Objects/stringlib/formatter.h: In function
‘unknown_presentation_type’:
Python/../Objects/stringlib/formatter.h:35: warning: format ‘%c’
expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘Py_UNICODE’
Should I ignore them?
Other warning messages:

Hello I sent this e-mail to the python-help list but I'm not sure if
that list is active... so I post it again here:
I'm trying to build Python 2.6.2 from the sources downloaded from the
python official site on OpenSuSE 11.1 (32 bit). After installation the
python command line interpreter seems to run ok, but when I try to
install setuptools I get:
[...]
To compile Python I executed:
./configure --prefix=/home/user/python
./make
./make install
The compile process seems to be ok, so I'm kind of clueless :-(
Any ideas?
This is just a guess, but try configuring with:
./configure --enable-unicode=ucs4 --prefix=/home/user/python
On Linux, by default, a self-compiled Python uses UCS2
internally for its unicode support (with some support
for UTF16). Most Linux distributions, however, distribute
a Python that uses UCS4 (aka UTF32) instead, so it seems
possible that your setuptools egg is expecting to find a
UCS4 build.
