When I built python 2.5 for linux I did the normal: configure make make install
Everything went fine til the "make install" part. It dies with no error. just says "install failed" after this: Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py That part built fine but the next part failed. So what I did being the industrious fellow that I am I did: make -n install > out Took the out file and did: sh out That installed python without failure. Now if I do "make install" everything works fine. Weird eh? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
