I use Debian Lenny and I tried to install the tarball packaging of the lastest python realease (http://www.python.org/download/, release 3.1). After read README file I launch standard Makefile commands. But at the end of "make" command, I have got this message:
"... Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _curses _curses_panel _dbm _gdbm _hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter bz2 readline To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. ..." Solution: So I installed these Debian packages to correct the problem: _curses, _curses_panel = libncurses-dev zlib = libbz2-dev bz2 = libzip-dev _dbm, _gdbm = libgdbm-dev _hashlib, _ssl = libssl-dev _sqlite3 = libsqlite3-dev _tkinter = tk8.4-dev readline = libreadline5-dev I use on command line "apt-get install libncurses-dev libbz2-dev ..." After that, I retry to compile python "make clean ; make ...". And all modules are good. Good work with Python 3.1 ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
