New submission from Mark Summerfield: On Fedora 8 I get this message: Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _bsddb To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
On Kubuntu 6.06 LTS I get the same message, but about different modules: _hashlib _ssl bz2 In previous versions when headers or libraries couldn't be found I thought the correct file to change was Modules/Setup or Modules/Setup.local. If this is still the case then the above error message should perhaps be changed? BTW For Fedora 8, bsddb won't work since according to Modules/Setup the most recent version supported is 4.0 while Fedora 8 has 4.4. ---------- components: Build messages: 63202 nosy: mark severity: normal status: open title: Py30a3: Possibly confusing message when module detection fails versions: Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2219> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
