[Python-Dev] RH9 build does not seem to autodetect properly

[Dennis Allison]

Thanks Skip --

I'll blame the RH installer here--I'm sure I requested the development
headers but they were missing.  Installing them fixes the bzip problem.

Running the regression tests (.python Lib/test/regrtest.py -uall) exposes 
other problems:

which comes from the bsddbB3 test.  Deadlock and exceptions not
withstanding, it appears to have been declared "correct".

This is the latest version of RH9 with all the latest and greatest
upgrades.

The curses test output a bunch of stuff to the terminal.  I'm not sure
what's to be expected there, but I suspect that it isn't what I am 
seeing.  

The summary results reports:

235 tests OK.
20 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_bsddb185 test_cd test_cl
    test_email_codecs test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev
    test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_scriptpackages
    test_sunaudiodev test_winreg test_winsound
Those skips are all expected on linux2.
