Despite what everybody else said: most likely, special care is necessary. However, nobody probably knows what precisely you need to be aware of. Several changes have been made to Python 2.4 and 2.5 to support AMD64-Linux better, and not all of these changes have been incorporated into Python 2.3, as this software is no longer maintained. My advise is just to try building it, run the test suite, and see whether it passes. If it fails to compile or pass the test suite, post a message with the specific problem - hopefully, somebody will remember how it was fixed. As others have said: you should really try to use the python 2.4 that comes with the operating system. Can you share the reason why you have to use Python 2.3?
