Installing source of python-ldap in suse...

[Josef M. <jm...@ho...>]

Hi,
finally I decided to follow the advice of Jens and don't use
LDAPLoginAdapter and
LDAPUserManager. So, I just updated my Zope and python versions, and tried
to
install "python-ldap-1.10alpha3-182". I didn't choose
python-ldap-2.0.0pre04.tar.gz
because my Suse (version 7.3) doesn't come with the Openldap2 libraries.

The point is that I'm having the following message when trying to install
python-ldap
from source:

/bin/sh: python: command not found
/bin/sh: python: command not found
/bin/sh: python: command not found
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/python/2.1.3/python-ldap-1.10alpha3/Modu
les'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/python/config/Makefile', needed by
`se
dscript'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/python/2.1.3/python-ldap-1.10alpha3/Modul
es'
make: *** [boot] Error 2

As I see, the problem is that the installation program doesn't find some
files of my python
compiler. The reason of this is that I had to install it from its source
tarball because my Suse
doesn't come with version 2.1.3. So, it creates everything under the same
directory; in my
case "/usr/local/python/2.1.3", and not in the two standard directories as
the usual installation
with "rpm" files.

How can I force the installation program to search the python compiler and
its libraries on its
current directory?

Thanks in advanced,
Josef.
