HI! I'm on a openSUSE system where Python 2.6 is installed from RPMs. I'm trying to build Python from source separately. This used to work in former versions but fails now (see build traceback below).
Anyone having a clue what's going on here? Is there a possible work-around? A possible conflict with the openSUSE-RPMs? Ciao, Michael. ----------------------------- snip ----------------------------- /usr/src/Python-2.6.4rc2> make 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 15, in <module> from distutils.command.build_ext import build_ext File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 13, in <module> from site import USER_BASE, USER_SITE File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/site.py", line 513, in <module> main() File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/site.py", line 496, in main known_paths = addsitepackages(known_paths) File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/site.py", line 288, in addsitepackages addsitedir(sitedir, known_paths) File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/site.py", line 185, in addsitedir addpackage(sitedir, name, known_paths) File "/usr/src/michael/Python-2.6.4rc2/Lib/site.py", line 155, in addpackage exec line File "<string>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'lib' make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
