Solaris releases tend to be supported for a very long time. I don't think we should restrict ourselves to glib, python, and other dependencies from the Solaris 10 era (actually Solaris 9 is still supported too!). We need to draw the line somewhere. Python 2.5 was released on September 19, 2006. It's available for Mac ppc and Solaris. Here is the latest blastwave Python package which supposedly works for Solaris 8+ on i386: http://www.blastwave.org/jir/pkgcontents.ftd?software=python&style=brief&state=5&arch=i386 Stefan

Hi Eric, Yes, it's the same issue. This patch will solve this particular problem but you will hit others with Python 2.4.4. You need Python 2.5 or later. Debian 4.0 (etch) is End of Lifed and no longer supported by the Debian project. Two options: 1. Install a modern distro (get security updates, modern tools, etc). or 2. Build the latest Python 2.x release from source at http://python.org/. Stefan

Please post the error message you are getting. It might be worth running ./configure --python=/path/to/python2.5 just to ensure it picks up the right Python. Stefan

Changing the operating system - sounds good, but currently due to other dependencies not too easy. Best regards, Erik

When pressing tab in the configure command line you already get an error caused by python. Additionally "make distclean" is also no longer possible because this causes sometimes a call of configure :-) Best regards, Erik

I just noticed that RHEL 5 ships Python 2.4, which means a lot of RHEL/CentOS 5 hosts that are still out there will also break. Let's bring back the requirement to Python 2.4. Stefan
