Hello,

Ik get the following error when I install a new Python software
package such as Zope or PIL.

This is what I get whem I 'make' Zope :

running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

../configure has finisched withoud problems.

Hi Martin,

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 159, in
customize_compiler
cpp = cc + " -E" # not always
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'
make: *** [build] Error 1

Judging by the error I'm guessing that you might not have a c or c++
compiler installed. Run the following command to check if you have the
required rpms:

rpm -q gcc
rpm -q gcc-c++

Install them if you they are missing and then rerun 'configure' and 'make'.

HTH

Hello Steve,

That is not the problem.
gcc-3.3.3-7 and gcc-c++-3.3.3-7 are installed.
