I'm trying to get Python installed on a Zaurus, running OpenBSD. There are several problems with the basic install, some of which I've fixed, more I haven't. I need a particulare question solved here, so I'm going to ffer in recompense what I'ver learned so far: The configure script seems to know (from internal comments) that _XOPEN_SOURCES must be turned off, but it's not efectively turned off, and the configure script needs to ber edited, else you can't even get the basic build to even begin. I don't know enough abou tocnfigure to offer a correct fix, but this is true (I hand-edited the configure script to turn xopen_sources to "no". What I'm after is the reason why it keeps on telling me (during the build, not during configure) that it can't find my just installed tcl85 and tk85 libs. I have soft-linked them to a more common naming (libtcl.so.1.0 and libtk.so.1.0, which is the same index, just dropping the "85" from the naming, and doing the ldconfig'ing ok) but this doesn't seem to fix it. There is a configure-time thing about UCS-tcl, and I don't know what this is. It IS in configure, I can't even locate the source of the complaint about not finding the tcl libs, it's not in the top level directory anywhere. Appreciate the help.
