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.

This seems weird.  Did you run out of disk space?  Is the
error reproducible (ie, fail in the same place each time)? 
Can you debug this further?  The tests do a make install and
I don't recall seeing this error.
