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

Use gtar. The Solaris tar does not hnadle long file names correctly.
gtar should be found in /usr/sfw/bin.

I did...
1. wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/Python-2.4.1.tgz
2. gunzip -c Python-2.4.1.tgz | tar xvf -
the above step errors:
tar: directory checksum error
gunzip: stdout: Broken pipe
3. Later in ./configure step...
This step also fails...(I did run this by ig
Why don't you donwload the source from python.org? Also, on Solaris tar
is sometimes broken (i.e. can't deal with long directory names etc.)
You may want to donwload and install gnu tar.
