config errors on Freebsd and python 2.3

I need python 2.3. I have freebsd 4.10-releng. when configuring python I
received the following:

../configure --prefix=/home/webenv > config-results
configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation

I don't plan on using curses -- so I'd like to ignore this. But, I'm just
wondering if there is an 'easy' fix...

Not really, no. It's safe to ignore.

I've tried to fix it, still happens on Python 2.4.2 on FreeBSD6.0.

Don't sweat it ,

why you are not installing it from ports?

The port distribution doesn't build to support Tkinter. That's why I
started building python from source. And since I'm building from source
I can be more up-to-date then the ports distribution, and include pil,
pmw, etc in the build.

Python as installed from ports doesn't support Tkinter.

Looks like they changed that recently - because it used to build it by
default. Tkinter is now installed by x11-toolkits/py-tkinter.

The current ports Python is 2.4.2. Do you have a newer version of
Python? And pil/pmw and a lot of other things are already in the ports
tree as separate ports.

The multiprocessing module is still fairly new and obviously needs more fine tuning for the large set of platforms on which Python can run. However, please also note that FreeBSD4 is a rather old version of that OS. FWIW: Python 2.6 compiles just fine on FreeBSD6. Thanks.

Hi Marc-Andre, Thanks for the suggestion. I opened a ticket for this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4204 Now I understand the state of the multiprocessing module, but it's too bad to see math, mmap and readline modules, that worked fine before, cannot be built anymore.
