    python 2.5 install from source problem

    Hi,

    I just tried to install python 2.5 from source on my
    ScienticLinux (Redhat Clone) machine. It seems to work
    without any problem, at least I am able to run some of my
    old scripts. I installed it with './configure
    --prefix=/opt/python make make altinstall', but now for a
    'vtk' installation which needs the python libraries I am not
    able to find a file like 'libpython2.5.s o.*', which I think
    should be produced (at least at my office's machine (redhat)
    it is there). I just can find a 'libpython2.5.a ' file ...

    Do I do something wrong?

    Greetings!
    Fabian

      I'd say it is a bug in vtk that it requires libpython2.5.so .*.
      However, to work-around, you can configure Python with
      --enable-shared. Make sure to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH
      appropriately.

      Martin
