INSTALL ODDITIES

When I built python 2.5 for linux I did the normal:
configure
make
make install

Everything went fine til the "make install" part. It dies with no
error.
just says "install failed" after this:


Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py

That part built fine but the next part failed.
So what I did being the industrious fellow that I am I did:

make -n install > out

Took the out file and did:

sh out

That installed python without failure.

Now if I do "make install" everything works fine.

Weird eh?
