I am attempting to compile python with the Expat library included.  I am
running Solaris 7 and python 2.2.1.  Originally, I did the
'configure-make dance' for python, then was told that I needed to add
the Expat library.  I did the 'configure-make dance' for Expat (version
1.95.4).  I then went to redo my python doing a configure, make clean
and make.  During the build of the pyexpat extension I get an warning
from line 1518 of Modules/pyexpat.c saying that subscript has type
char.  It then removes the library because 'an error occurred."  In the
setup.py script there is a setting for the EXPAT_DIR.  I have tried
setting that to the directory where the Expat source files are located
and to the location of the library the Expat install creates.

What am I missing here?

Doug
