I have a standard Debian x86 system with Python 2.4.1 (compiled from source). Attempts to compile 2.4.2 fail with references to Unicode -- is there a basic system library that's missing?
++++++ output from make: libpython2.4.a(funcobject.o)(.text+0x96): In function `PyFunction_New': Objects/funcobject.c:31: undefined reference to `PyUnicode_Type' libpython2.4.a(funcobject.o)(.text+0x9d):Objects/funcobject.c:31: undefined reference to `PyUnicode_Type' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [python] Error 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
