Hello all I can't install neither python 2.6.1 nor 2.6.2 because an error during compilation of _ctypes module, I don't need the module but I don't know how to instruct to skip it.
The plattform is Suse 11.0 The steps I performed are the following: ./configure --prefix $HOME/app/Python-2.6.2 make The last command from make with its error is the following gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/ Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes.o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/callbacks.o build/temp.linux- i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/callproc.o build/ temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/ stgdict.o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/ _ctypes/cfield.o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/ Modules/_ctypes/malloc_closure.o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/ soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/prep_cif.obuild/ temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/ src/x86/ffi.o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/home/ps/soft/Python-2.6.2/ Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/sysv.o -L/home/ps/app/Python-2.6.2/lib - L/usr/local/lib -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/_ctypes.so *** WARNING: renaming "_ctypes" since importing it failed: build/ lib.linux-i686-2.6/_ctypes.so: undefined symbol: ffi_prep_cif_machdep Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: bsddb185 dl imageop sunaudiodev To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
