Ok, here are links to word documents outlining the commands I executed as well as the make.log file and the make_install.log file
instructions/commands: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-29018965_1-t_dSnfEm5b make.log: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-29018966_1-t_zjqLuV5v javascript:parent.send('smtp') make_install.log: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-29018967_1-t_n8aqH2P The issue referred to in the previous message (http://bugs.python.org/issue1594809) sounds similar - however I do not think that I can just build the shared unicodedata module and have it work properly, as I am trying to statically link the necessary modules. I am very new with this, so if I am completely misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know. Thanks!
