Problems making Python-2.3b1

[John Ochiltree]

Hello group,
I hope someone can help me here. I'm having trouble building Python-2.3b1 on
SuSE 8.2. The ./configure didn't seem to object to anything but running the
make bombs out with:

running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
