I am trying to install python 2.3.5 from source on FC4 to /usr/local. # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local works ok. But when I do # make I get caught in an infinite loop where it just runs the configure script over and over. Thanks! - Mike

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Not that I want to say that you don't have a problem, but if you are installing from source anyway, couldn't you try 2.4.1 (or the upcoming 2.4.2)? Moreover it's not likely that there will be a 2.3.6.

Logged In: YES user_id=2772 I built Python 2.3.5 on an FC4 / x86_64 machine as described by the reporter. I didn't get the behavior he described. On a hunch, I executed touch -t 12311200 configure (making configure be dated far in the future). After doing this, "make" executed configure at least twice before I stopped it. Is it possible that some file that Makefile depends on (configure, in my example) is newer than the current system time?

Yes, the makefile runs ./configure when the configure script is newer than Makefile.
