I'm having a bit of a problem trying to install Python on a Solaris 10 system. I didn't have this kind of problem when trying to install it on Solaris 8.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've tried adding CC=gcc into the configure script, and have also tried running ./configure --with-gcc with no luck. I appears that this is dead set to using c++ which isn't working.

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. I know this is sort of long, but here's the config log. "config.log" 232 lines, 5017 characters This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by python configure 2.4, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.
