Summary: libpython2.2.a missing -- Make Failure

Initial Comment:
Hi,

In trying to install Python for the first time on a Sun
Ultrasparc 10, I followed recommended procedure and
obtained the following error (whilst runing "make"):

gcc   -o python \
                Modules/python.o \
                libpython2.2.a -lpthread -lsocket -lnsl
-ldl  -lthread   -lm  
gcc: libpython2.2.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [python] Error 1

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Lars

In a private conversation with the submitter (Lars Jermiin,
<jermiin@barramundi.bio.usyd.edu.au>), we found that this
problem is caused by /usr/local/bin/ar being a symlink to
/usr/bin/true, which means that all ar invocations failed to
do anything.

Since this conversation started by me placing a comment into
the bug report, and since this report does not show such a
comment, this may be a duplicate report - but I can't find
the original one. The only other explanation seems to be
that SF lost a comment, but that is unlikely.

So closing this, not sure whether as "Duplicate" or "Works
for me".

Martin, are you capable of dealing with this?
