I'm trying to install on the latest Ubuntu (8.04) and the following
extension modules fail:
_bsddb, _curses, _curse_panel, _hashlib, _sqlite3, _ssl, _tkinter,
bz2, dbm, gdbm, readline, zlib
All of them except for _tkinter are included in the preinstalled
Python 2.5.2, so I guess the dependencies must be somewhere there.
Does Ubuntu have any non-standard lib dir ?
