[cobalt-users] Building Python 2.2 on raq3

[Hans Kristian Eiken <hklist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I am trying to build Python 2.2.2 on my raq3, but it seems like a 
module called socket is missing. This module is needed in Python to make 
rdiff-bakup working.

Do anyone know if it is possible to get this compiled into Python? Under 
is an extract of messages from ./configure and make on Python, and from 
the running of rdiff-backup.

#./configure
checking for socket in -lsocket... (cached) no
