I did a new test, again completely from scratch. I built ncurses and readline, installed them system wide (normal make install without a --prefix). Then i editing Modules/Setup.dist to include readline and adding the correct paths to the include and libs files. configure now finds the readline library. However, ncurses and readline still fail to be built. I had a look at the output of make. This is the error for ncurses: building '_curses' extension gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/home/benedict/local/include -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Include -I/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1 -c /home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_cursesmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_cursesmodule.o gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_cursesmodule.o -L/home/benedict/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L. -lncurses -lpython2.7 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_curses.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/libncurses.a(lib_addch.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/libncurses.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status building '_curses_panel' extension gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/home/benedict/local/include -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Include -I/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1 -c /home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_curses_panel.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_curses_panel.o gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/home/benedict/src/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_curses_panel.o -L/home/benedict/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L. -lpanel -lncurses -lpython2.7 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_curses_panel.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/libpanel.a(p_above.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/libpanel.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The error for readline: gcc -pthread -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python \ Modules/python.o \ -L. -lpython2.7 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lreadline -L/usr/local/lib -lm /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [python] Fout 1 Thanks, Benedict -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
