I don't really understand why you compile these common libraries (zlib, ncurses, readline) yourself instead of using the relevant libraries provided by your Debian system? Is it just that you didn't *know* Debian puts parts needed for compilation in separate packages so you'd need to install those first? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
