Problem installing Python 2.5

Tue Apr 3 10:52:55 EDT 2007

I was trying to install Python 2.5 compiling from sources. I used:
./compile
It run OK.
Then:
make altintall
After a lot of output, got this:
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/__init__.py ...
