Installation problem

[Eric Evans]

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to install Python 2.2.1 and I'm hoping someone 
out there may be able to offer some helpful advice.  I'm on Solaris 8 with 
gcc 3.0, and during the installation of Python it compiles along just fine 
for a while until it gets to the place where it is running build_ext.  Then 
I start getting error messages such as

building 'struct' extension
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I. 
-I/usr/local/Python-2.2.1/./Include -I/usr/local/include -IInclude/ -c 
/usr/local/Python-2.2.1/Modules/structmodule.c -o 
build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.2/structmodule.o
gcc -shared build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.2/structmodule.o 
-L/usr/local/lib -o build/lib.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.2/struct.so
WARNING: removing "struct" since importing it failed

and so on for all the rest of the extensions.  All of them fail.  What is 
going on here that is causing these compiles to fail?  I'd appreciate any 
guidance on this....

Thanks a lot,
