Summary: make install fails, various modules do not work

Initial Comment:
I compiled Python 2.5 on a Linux user account on Debian
3.0.  configure and make seemed to go okay, but make
install failed at 'zipfile.py' when it was compiling
modules into bytecode.  I can still use the python
interpreter.  However, some important modules seem to
be missing such as 'time' and 'operator'.

It could be a good start...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Maybe it's not linking some modules in?
Would it be helpful if I let you SSH to the box?

I think I know what the cause of the problem is (although
not the root cause):

Compiling
/home/cs/csugrads/erflynn/stow/python/lib/python2.5/test/test_multibytecodec.py
...
Sorry: UnicodeError: ("\\N escapes not supported (can't load
unicodedata module)",)

So compilation for test_multibytecodec fails, causing
compileall to fail.

In the build directory, can you please run 

PYTHONPATH=/home/cs/csugrads/erflynn/stow/python/lib/python2.5
./python -Wi -tt

and do

import unicodedata
print unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI
import test.test_multibytecodec


and report its output?

No I didn't run over quota.  Running python in the directory
it was built does not do anything differently.

The logs indicate that 4 regression tests failed during
'make test'.  This is reproducible.

Looking through the logs it looks like libinstall had an
error.  Did you run over quota in your home directory?  The
log for 'make' shows that 'time' was built.  I bet if you
run the Python executable in the directory where you
compiled you will find you can import 'time' and such fine.
