I'm trying to install on the latest Ubuntu (8.04) and the following extension modules fail: _bsddb, _curses, _curse_panel, _hashlib, _sqlite3, _ssl, _tkinter, bz2, dbm, gdbm, readline, zlib All of them except for _tkinter are included in the preinstalled Python 2.5.2, so I guess the dependencies must be somewhere there. Does Ubuntu have any non-standard lib dir ? George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
