Prob installing Python 2.2.1 on Redhat 7.0

[Sébastien Cottalorda]

Hi all,

I tried to compile the source code of Phyton 2.2.1 on a Red Hat 7.0
(kernel 2.2.16.22) with gcc (ver 2.96).
The ./configure program didn't see any errrors.

I immediately obtain the following error, after make command:

----------------------------------
gcc -c -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o Modules/python.o Modules/python.c
In file included from Include/Python.h:62,
                 from Modules/python.c:3:
Include/pyport.h:480:2: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for
platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."
make: *** [Modules/python.o] Erreur 1
-----------------------------------

If somebody as a clue ?

Thanks in advance.
