[cobalt-users] Problem with configure/make Python-2.1.2.tgz on Qube 2

[Sam Anderegg <galileo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I tried to build from python2.1.2 source and run into trouble. See copy
of shell error messages below.

The Qube 2 has Cobalt OS Release 4.0  and I installed all available patches.

After unpacking with
$> gzip -dc Python-2.1.2.tgz | tar xf -

NB: I cannot find any Cobalt Qube specific configuration advice in the
README file. Running configure script ends with the following lines before
make command stops and fails. Many thanks for help.
