Python 2.4.1 installation problem

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

I am trying to install 2.4.1 on a new machine and have the following
problems.

1) I'm on MDK 10.1
2) The system had 2.3.4 installed in /usr , I deleted the lib
3) I ran ./configure --prefix=/usr, then make, then make install, everything
went OK
If I run Python, I get

File "/etc/pythonrc.py", Line 2 in ?
ImportError: no module readline

I also tried to run one of my script and got an import error on bz2.
I have 2.4.1 running OK on another machine with the exact same distro.
Any clue ?

Thanks,

Philippe

I had not realized (silly me) that Python might need external libraries in
order to support specific modules.

I have installed the bz2 and readline devel packages re-configured/made and
everythin os now working.
