Summary: building on Fedora Core 1

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to build Python 2.3.2 on Fedora Core 1. The
configure runs without errors, but I then get an odd
error about pyconfig.h during the build. 

gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include 
-DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Objects/dictobject.o

I'm not sure what the issue is here.

It would be good if you could add print statements to
setup.py:detect_tkinter, to find out why it gives up.

Alternatively, you can edit Modules/Setup to force _tkinter
being built.

Well, this is quite odd, but I rebuilt and the error didn't
happen this time. I'm not sure why. 

However, I'm having a problem getting Tkinter built. I'm
trying to port the src rpm currently, but when I do the
--rebuild, I get this in post-processing.

RPM build errors:
    File not found by glob:
/var/tmp/python2.3-2.3.2-root/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so*

Looks like it was never built.

[msoulier at tigger msoulier]$ cd rpms
[msoulier at tigger rpms]$ cd BUILD/
[msoulier at tigger BUILD]$ ls
Python-2.3.2
[msoulier at tigger BUILD]$ find Python-2.3.2/ -name "_tkinter*"
Python-2.3.2/Modules/_tkinter.c
Python-2.3.2/PC/os2vacpp/_tkinter.def
Python-2.3.2/PCbuild/_tkinter.dsp

I logged the entire build, if you'd like me to attach it.

[msoulier at tigger msoulier]$ rpm -q tk-devel
tk-devel-8.3.5-93

Thanks.

Can you pleas invoke the gcc command line manually, passing
-v to gcc? This looks like a bug in the gcc installation: If
-I. is given, it should find ./pyconfig.h.
