This TIP worked GREAT !!! I was able to install python-2.4.1 on Sun Solaris by executing below steps ( I am not a 'root' user)
1. wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/Python-2.4.1.tgz 2. gunzip Python-2.4.1.tgz 3. /usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xvf Python-2.4.1.tar 5. cd Python-2.4.1 6. ./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/Py (The directory in which you wanted to install Python libraries and binaries) 7. make 8. make install Once again Thank you All for educating me.
