=====================================================================
I have a similar problem to Charles. I am running (at work) Solaris
2.5.1 and gcc 2.7.2.2 and tried to install the Python 1.5.2 source
tarball. Here is what I get:

ar cr libpython1.5.a getbuildinfo.o
ranlib libpython1.5.a
true
cd Modules;  make OPT="-g -O2" VERSION="1.5" \
                prefix="/home/files"
exec_prefix="/home/files/sun4-solaris2"
\
                LIBRARY=../libpython1.5.a link
/home/pkoren/bin/gcc   python.o \
          ../libpython1.5.a   -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm  -o python 
Undefined                       first referenced

bash$ 


Any clues?

Thanks,
