I can't seem to get the zlib module to build on an RHEL box. I did the following: 1) Download zlib 1.2.3 2) configure;make;make install 3) Download python 2.5.2 4) configure;make;make install 5) >>> import zlib => "ImportError: No module named zlib"
In the make install step for python, I notice there are the following errors: building 'zlib' extension gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/home/shake/python/ Python-2.5.2/Modules/zlibmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -lz -o build/ lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/zlib.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(crc32.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Does anyone have any hints on how to get around this? system info: kernel : 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp gcc : 3.4.6 Thanks, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
