Dear Robert, Looks like you are right. Here is what I got when I compile the Python2.2 from source (or I believe so): $ sudo make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash Password: case $MAKEFLAGS in \ *-s*) CC='cc' LDSHARED='ld' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O' ./python -E //6/openqnx/ Python-2.2/setup.py -q build;; \ *) CC='cc' LDSHARED='ld' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O' ./python -E //6/openqnx/ Python-2.2/setup.py build;; \ esac running build running build_ext building 'regex' extension skipping //6/openqnx/Python-2.2/Modules/regexmodule.c (build/temp.qnx- O-PCI-2.2/regexmodule.o up-to-date) skipping //6/openqnx/Python-2.2/Modules/regexpr.c (build/temp.qnx-O- PCI-2.2/regexpr.o up-to-date) ld build/temp.qnx-O-PCI-2.2/regexmodule.o build/temp.qnx-O-PCI-2.2/ regexpr.o -L/usr/local/lib -o build/lib.qnx-O-PCI-2.2/regex.so unable to execute ld: No such file or directory .... If there is no 'ld' linker, what should be used instead?? BTW, the reason I am still using QNX4.25 is because I was trying to install python on this legacy system. We can't move to QNX6 unless we want to redo all other code as well, which took 3 years of a good programmer :-( - ZMY -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
