python compilation questions

[dave]

Hi:

i compiled python-2.3.2 and ahve a coupel of questions:

1) i can't get python compiled with option "--with-pth"
2) without the option "--with-pth", it went through the compilation, but i had
some problems with testing:

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

it went throught rest of testing ok.

anybody has any idea on this?

the error message seem to relate to openssl:

.....
....
DSA_size 0x248
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(p_lib.o)
DSA_size 0x24c
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(p_lib.o)
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
