Hello to all......Today I was trying to install FreeCAD 0.10 from its source code. I am using RHEL5. I have firstly installed python2.6.5 from source and also tested it. Python is working fine. But when I try to compile FreeCAD 0.10, I got following configure error :

Hello Vikas, This list is for the discussion of the development *of* Python, not developing *with* Python. A more appropriate list to use would be the python-list (also known as comp.lang.python). Other Python lists are referenced here: http://www.python.org/community/lists/ Having said that, it is common for Linux distributions to package the bits needed to compile Python separately from their distribution of Python itself (a horrible practise). You probably need to install the python-devel package using your package manager. All the best, Michael

I also searched internet for python-devel source code but was unable to find any such pacage. Please help me to resolve this python error.

Thanks

1. Please post Python usage related problems to the python-users mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sorry for posting here. I am new baby to python so I don't know where to post. I will remember this and will not post irrelevant topics here.

2. That being said, your specific problem can be resolved by compiling Python to a dynamic library. You can do this by specifying `--enable-shared` during the `./configure` phase.

Thanks a lot for your help. Your solution helped me a lot.
