No model named _socket

[Arend Sluis]

Hi,

**obligatory python newbie warning*

I have been trying to install python 2.3.2 on Solaris 2.7 (SPARC).  Both 
'configure' and 'make' do not give problems, but 'make test' does complain:

7 tests failed:
     test___all__ test_logging test_mimetools test_socket test_sundry
     test_tempfile test_urllib2

All but test_tempfile can be traced back to the error:

ImportError: No module named _socket

I have been digging through the FAQ and the bug list, but I cannot find 
anything helpful.  Any help is welcome.  (I can provide more details, if 
necessary.)
