Python Installation Problem

[Samir Badaoui]

Hi,

My name is Samir. I am an Informix and DB2 Database administrator.

I am trying to install Python-2.2.3 under AIX 4.3.3
I download the Python-2.2.3 sourcecode. I configure it (./configure) and
when I try to make the binary (make), I get the folowing error (after some
minutes of compilation) :

------------------------

./Modules/ld_so_aix cc_r -bI:Modules/python.exp
build/temp.aix-4.3-2.2/socketmod

error: No such file or directory
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Stop.
------------------------------

Please can you Help me with this.

I Goal is to install Python and PyXML so that I can use the BustBee
software.
