Problem installing Python 2.5

[Sebastian Bassi]

I was trying to install Python 2.5 compiling from sources. I used:
../compile
It run OK.
Then:
make altintall
After a lot of output, got this:
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/__init__.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/_exceptions.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/expatreader.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/handler.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/saxutils.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/xmlreader.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xmllib.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1

It seems I am not the only one with this error:

After executing

./configure

you have to edito

Modules/Setup

file and uncomment the following line:

#zlib zlibmodule.c -I$(prefix)/include -L$(exec_prefix)/lib -lz

Then continue with normal make; make install.

Thank you. I already did this:
make -i altinstall
and then:
make altinstall

And added a comment in bug#1669349

After a lot of output, got this:

You will need to check this output line-for-line to see
why it fails.
