Summary: ImportError: No module named _socket

Initial Comment:
Hi

There is a problem during the installation of python 2.3.1:

I used configure with the following options:
./configure --enable-shared=yes --with-signal-
module=yes --with-cxx=/usr/freeware/bin/c++

make runs to the end, only warning messages are 
displayed.

Running "make test" on a SGI Origin200, IRIX 6.5-18 I 
got the following error message:
test test___all__ failed -- Traceback (most recent call 
last):
  File "/install/fw/Python-2.3.1/Lib/test/test___all__.py", 
line 54, in test_all
    import _socket
ImportError: No module named _socket

This looks like the python bug 565710 reported for 
python 2.2.1 which was solved by modifications of 
setup.py in the top level directory.

But setup.py was modified in python 2.3.1 and I could 
not apply the old patch to the new version.

Could you help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot

Peter Stauffert

I have this same bug on Solaris 7 with 2.3.2.

Does the patch available from www.python.org/bugs.html fix
this problem?

Which compiler did you use? From the configure line, above,
it looks like you might be using gcc?

Can you please attach the build log? In particular, it would
be importing to see whether building _socket was attempted,
and failed.

Maybe your compiler just doesn't work???

I have seen this on Solaris as well, recent and old vintages.
