Are you sure you're using the tar you think? This looks a lot like Warning for Solaris and HP-UX users: Some versions of the Solaris and HP/UX versions of tar(1) report checksum errors and are unable to unpack the Python source tree. This is caused by some pathnames being too long for the vendor's version. Use GNU tar instead. Did you verify the MD5 checksum for the downloaded file against those at http://www.python.org/2.3.4/ ? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
