Installing Python on Solaris 9

[Solaris Boy]

Hi..

I am trying to get python working on my solaris 9 box.

It complanined about the libraries

ld.so.1: ./python: fatal: libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or
directory *** Error code 137 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
`sharedmods'

I set the environment variables and compiled the stuff. 

Python was installed in /usr/local/Python-2.2.3/python. 

Now when I typed in python I got this back

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jun 19 2003, 01:13:28) 
[GCC 3.2.3] on TvoPT5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

Is this a bug/what? Please suggest...

Also How do I quit out of python

Thanks..
