When I try to build and install python from source It configures and 
makes fine but upon 'make install' I always get to this
point:



Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/__init__.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/_exceptions.py ...

Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1                     



I am currently trying to install 2.5.1. I get the error no matter what the
version is. Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this?

I have gone through the config.log and found no errors concerning
zipfile.py or zipfile or zip. I am thinking the error is the next command
after the zipfile.py installation because I can go into 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5 and zipfile.py is installed.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
