Python 2.2 <-> Solaris 2.6 installation errors

[Jeff Bauer]

I'm having problems installing Python 2.2 onto
my Solaris 2.6 workstation.

I am doing the boilerplate ...

  ./configure
  make
  make install

... but it bombs, possibly because distutils
is looking for something that isn't there?

Earlier versions of Python install fine on
this machine.
