I use red hat 9 which comes with python2.2 installed in it. Wanting to use the latest version, i downloaded python 2.5.1 from the official python website. After downloading, i performed the following steps, but there is some error during the configuration process and hence i'm not able to run the "make" command after this. Following is the sequence of events that happened in my terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tar xfz Python-2.5.1.tgz [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cd Python-2.5.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python-2.5.1]# ./configure checking MACHDEP... linux2 checking EXTRAPLATDIR... checking for --without-gcc... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python-2.5.1]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. If anybody can help... Thanx! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
