Has anyone been sucessful in installing Python 1.5.2 on Slackware 4.0? A good part of it runs without any problem, however, some of the key modules do not work. Some have suggested that my Python installed was hosed. I've checked Deja and the web and have not found reference to this problem. Python folks have said it's a glibc version problem. Having some trouble with the time module specifically when I run the following test: /tmp/Python-1.5.2$ python Python 1.5.2 (#3, Sep 8 1999, 17:29:29) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
