Hi Travis, I see, looking at ./configure --help | less, that I could provide > --disable-FEATURE and --without-PACKAGE directives to my ./configure > invocation.

I don't remember correctly, I think it's a environment variable, also there was a bug in python 2.7 regarding this... Have a look at the setup.py of your python version there is some juju magic mojo variable that configures the compiled extensions [1] Also, whenever you want to compile something check gentoo ebuild aka. compilation recipe, for instance for Python 3.3.2<http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/python/python-3.3.2-r2.ebuild?revision=1.6&view=markup>or linux from scratch <http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/>. Distcc might be helpful. [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/python/python-3.2.3.ebuild?view=markup
