Build Problems

[Cameron S. Watters]

Hello All,

I'll try this again without the entire make output...

If I should be looking elsewhere for an answer to this question, please 
don't flame, just point me in the right direction. For the record, I've 
read the README and the FAQ and searched this list and the web (using 
Google) for some insight, and found nothing that helped much.

I'm attempting to build Python 2.2.2 and I'm getting the following 
message when I try to 'make':

<snip>

of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

The part I'm concerned about are the lines immediately preceding and 
following the line beginning with "ld:warning:cannot..."

Complete config log and/or make output are available, but are pretty 
big (about 650 KB). I should also point out that I'm attempting to 
build this on a machine running a tweaked RedHat of which I am not the 
admin.

Any help would be much appreciated.
