it sounds like you need to tell python to compile with the threading module
support enabled-- for whatever reason the configure script isn't able to
find it. are you sure your system has the right thread support built in?
what version of libc do you have installed? I don't have any slackware boxen
left (they have been changed to redhat based machines), so I can test these
things myself. does the README file included with the source explain what
you need to do? it may be as simple as modifying the Setup file to tell it
what you want. if you try all this and still have trouble, post to the list
again.
