Hi every body,

following the download of python source v1.5.2 from the python.org site, I
tried to compile it on RS6000 IBM machine with AIX 4.2.1.0.  
I did not find any solution on help or FAQ python site.
I launched the ./configure command but I had this message :
=========
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:608: checking MACHDEP...aix4
configure:653: checking CCC...
configure:669: checking for --without-gcc...no
configure:746: checking for gcc...no
configure:776: checking for cc...no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
=========

I tried to launch with the options : ./configure --without-gcc and I had this :

Output on the screen :
creating cache ./config.cache
checking MACHDEP... aix4
checking CCC... 
checking for --without-gcc... yes
checking for gcc... cc
checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create  executables.
=============================================
Output in the config.log :

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:608: checking MACHDEP

configure:859: checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works
configure:875: cc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
./configure[874]: cc:  not found
configure: failed program was:

#line 870 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
=================
If you have any solution I would really appreciate.

Thank you.
