I download python2.6.6 source form http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.6.6/ After that I run these commands ./configure make
I tried to import zlib but it says no module named zlib. How can install zlib module for it
After I tried installing python2.6.8 I got same error no zlib. While installing it I got below error
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb _curses _curses_panel
_hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl
_tkinter bsddb185 bz2
dbm dl gdbm
imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev
readline sunaudiodev zlib
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
Failed to build these modules:
crypt nis
I tried following which helped me with some of these modules.
You have to edit setup.py.
Find the following lines in setup.py:
lib_dirs = self.compiler.library_dirs + [
'/lib64', '/usr/lib64',
'/lib', '/usr/lib',
]
For 64 bit
Add /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
:
lib_dirs = self.compiler.library_dirs + [
'/lib64', '/usr/lib64',
'/lib', '/usr/lib', '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu',
]
For 32 bit
Add /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
:
lib_dirs = self.compiler.library_dirs + [
'/lib64', '/usr/lib64',
'/lib', '/usr/lib', '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu',
]
Note x86_64-linux-gnu
& i386-linux-gnu
might be located somewhere else
in your system so path accordingly.
Ater this you will be left with only following modules:
_bsddb bsddb185 dbm
gdbm sunaudiodev
I solved the problem adding LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
as configure
parameter.
I wrote a note for myself addressing your problem, might be helpful: python installation
.
Do you really need bsddb
and sunaudiodev
modules? You might not want to since both are deprecated since python 2.6
I had this exact problem (exact python distribution as well) Dmity's answer almost worked... but after many hours searching I think I have found the issue (assuming you are using ubuntu 11.10 - 12.10)
Ok, so for me at least the problem stemmed from the fact that Ubuntu disabled SSLv2, so the workaround is fairly involved. Basically you have to delve into the source code and remove all references to SSLv2 before you build it, in addition to adding library paths to your setup file. I followed this tutorial and now I have a working virtualenv with python-2.6.8:

(The patches are fairly easy to implement without using patch
) Hope this helps clear up the issues. PHEW
