Hmm. There's not a lot of information to go on here. What version of Python is this? Python 2.6.2? Have you tried Googling for that exact error message? The following issue looks as though it might be relevant: http://bugs.python.org/issue1594809 especially since it looks as though the directions you linked to involve messing with the PYTHONPATH environment variable. If you could post a log somewhere[*] showing the exact commands that you executed, along with all the output (and especially all the output from 'make' and 'make install'), that might help someone diagnose the problem further. Mark [*] I'm not sure where, though. Posting all that output directly in a newsgroup message might not be considered very friendly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
