I’m trying to build python 2.5.2 on Solaris 8 using gcc 3.4.2. I can’t see any immediate errors in the ./configure step but, once built and i enter the python shell doing an import time errors with :

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Nov 21 2008, 18:45:42) [GCC 3.4.2] on sunos5 Type 'help', 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information. >>> import time Traceback (most recent call last):   File '<stdin>', line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named time

What am i doing wrong? From what i can see with a cursory google is that there might be an error with libstdc++.so, but i can’t find any hard details.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks,

Al.

  1. The time module is not built by default in Python, if you build from a source distribution you need to explicitly enable all the modules you want to compile.

    Open up Modules/Setup.dist in the python source tree and comment out the line which says:

     #time timemodule.c

    To enable the build of time module. Also remember that you need to recompile Python for this to take an effect.
