Hello, and please be gentle... I'm trying to build Python 2.5 on my Fedora Core 6 installation. I think I've resolved most of my problems, but "make test" reports an error for test_socket.py, shown below.
I suppose my FC6 installation is missing something, but I have no idea what. Any ideas, directions, pointers would be most appreciated. ====================================================================== ERROR: testSockName (__main__.GeneralModuleTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 456, in testSockName my_ip_addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 66 tests in 35.478s FAILED (errors=1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 962, in <module> test_main() File "./Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 958, in test_main test_support.run_unittest(*tests) File "/home/Installer/Python/Python-2.5/Lib/test/test_support.py", line 441, in run_uni ttest run_suite(suite, testclass) File "/home/Installer/Python/Python-2.5/Lib/test/test_support.py", line 426, in run_sui te raise TestFailed(err) test.test_support.TestFailed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 456, in testSockName my_ip_addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) gaierror: (-2, 'Name or service not known') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
