Summary: Fails to install on Fedora Core 5

Initial Comment:
I am using an up-to-date version of Fedora Core 5.
: gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

configure
I ran ./configure --prefix=/home/mark/opt/python25 and
this ran without problems.

Makefile
I hand edited the Makefile to add -fwrapv to the
BASECFLAGS as per the README file since I don't know
how to add flags using configure.

make
make worked fine

make test
This reported some failures, but nothing that seems
significant:
...
test_zipfile
test_zipfile64
test_zipfile64 skipped -- test requires loads of
disk-space bytes and a long time to run
test_zipimport
test_zlib
281 tests OK.
38 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb
test_bsddb185
    test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn
test_codecmaps_hk
    test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr
test_codecmaps_tw test_curses
    test_dbm test_gdbm test_gl test_imgfile
test_linuxaudiodev
    test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib
test_scriptpackages
    test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sqlite
test_startfile
    test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllib2net
test_urllibnet
    test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64
3 skips unexpected on linux2:
    test_dbm test_gdbm test_bsddb


make install
This failed.
...
Compiling
/home/mark/opt/python25/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1

Just in case for some reason a dbm is needed I
installed gdbm-devel and retried but the installation
still failed in the same place.
