python2.4.2 test_fpformat and test_locale failed on IRIX6.5

[Xiao Jianfeng]

Hello,

I am trying to install python2.4.2 on IRIX6.5, but test_fpformat and
test_locale failed when I ran "smake test".

The following is the detailed error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone tell me how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance.
