Configuring python 2.3.4 on IRIX 5.3 fails as follows: checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... unknown configure: error: unknown endianness presetting ac_cv_c_bigendian=no (or yes) will help *** Error code 1 The problem is that the respective defines are in sys/ endian.h, which is not being included in the test code.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about this (with acceptable efforts); we use the AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro of autoconf which probably needs to be changed. It would be best if you could report this problem to autoconf.
