I am attempting to compile python 2.6.8 in Redhat 5 linux box.
At the end of the compilation, I got these messages;
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb _curses _curses_panel
_hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl
_tkinter bsddb185 bz2
dbm dl gdbm
imageop readline sunaudiodev
Based on the names above, I used yum search
and find some rpm packages to fulfill the dependencies
ncurses
ncurses-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64 ncurses-devel-5.5-24.20060715.i386
gdbm gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1.x86_64
readline readline-5.1-3.el5.x86_64
b2 bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2.x86_64 bzip2-devel-1.0.3-4.el5_2.x86_64
However I cannot do not have luck with the rest them.
Is there any technique in discovering the dependencies? Is there any web resource available to look up the rpm packages?
Can I ask why you're trying to build such an old version of Python? The current versions are 2.7.5 and 3.3.2... – MattDMo – 2013-06-04T01:51:17.943
I am working in a corporate environment and 2.6.x is the 'official' version we use – Anthony Kong – 2013-06-04T02:06:41.607
I'm sorry about that... – MattDMo – 2013-06-04T02:09:04.077
