Do you mean 2.2a4 and 2.2b2?  Not that it makes much difference.

There are lines *very similar* to these at ~1200:

#if defined(HAVE_BROKEN_NICE) && defined(HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H)
#if defined(HAVE_GETPRIORITY) && !defined(PRIO_PROCESS)
#include <sys/resource.h>
#endif
#endif

It seems the fix that got checked in wasn't the fix that got submitted
to sf, and didn't work for you.

Can you *email* me (i.e. don't post them to the ng) your pyconfig.h
and config.log files so I can have a poke?  I suspect
HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H isn't getting defined for some reason.

Cheers,

  That's because you're Australian!  So all the blood flows to
  your head, away from the organ most normal guys think with.
