You need to use GNU make for that to work. The build regenerates the makefile, but Sun make doesn't recognize the change. There was a message telling you so. GNU make will see that the makefile was rebuilt, and re-read it before proceeding. > I'd like to get /opt/sfw/ added to the standard lib/include path for > Solaris (10 at least) as this is where Sun's open-source packages get > installed. Is this just a matter of raising a ticket? Not easily - resolving this might take months or years. If you provide a well-engineered patch, chances that Python changes are much higher. Also, your original complaint wasn't that readline isn't considered, but that setup.py didn't find it even though configure did. A patch fixing that has a higher chance of being accepted than a patch adding /opt/sfw to the standard search path (which is really a decision Sun should take, not the Python maintainers - in absence of a Sun change, it's then the local administrator who decides).
