New submission from Sean Carolan: I'm attempting to build a Python 2.7.3 RPM but the build command from the documentation fails. My platform is RHEL 5.9, x86_64
http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/builtdist.html#creating-rpm-packages Steps to reproduce: 1. Download latest Python tarball to home directory. wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz 2. Unpack it, configure and install it: [scarolan@titania:~/Python-2.7.3]$ make clean; ./configure --with-zlib=/usr/include; make; sudo make install 3. Attempt to run command in the documentation, build fails.
