installation (linux)

[Thomas Thiele]

At the moment I'm trying to install python on linux(Suse).

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python/
make 
make test
make install

All worked fine but I have no module thread
so I tried it once again.

typing: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python/ --with-threads

printed lines with "thread":

checking for thread.h... (cached) no
checking for --with-dec-threads... no
checking for --with-threads... yes
checking for --with-thread... yes
checking for mach/cthreads.h... (cached) no
checking for pthread_detach... (cached) no
checking for kernel/OS.h... (cached) no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads... (cached) no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... (cached) yes
checking for usconfig in -lmpc... (cached) no
checking for thr_create in -lthread... (cached) no

make says at the end:

gcc  -Xlinker -export-dynamic python.o \
          ../libpython1.5.a   -lieee -ldl  -lpthread -lm  -o python

threadmodule.o exists.

What can be wrong? What have I to do? 


Thanks Thomas
