The bz2 module isn't compiling for me on Solaris 8:

building 'bz2' extension gcc -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I. -I/export/home/python/dist/src/./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/export/home/python/dist/src/Include -I/export/home/python/dist/src -c /export/home/python/dist/src/Modules/bz2module.c -o build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.3/bz2module.o cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include" cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory /export/home/python/dist/src/Modules/bz2module.c: In function UtilCatchBZ2Error':_ _/export/home/python/dist/src/Modules/bz2module.c:120: BZCONFIGERROR' undeclared (first use in this function) /export/home/python/dist/src/Modules/bz2module.c:120: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ... This particular machine has a /usr/include/bzlib.h file with a copyright date of 1998. There are several other BZ*ERROR defines, but not BZCONFIGERROR. Adding a conditional define for that macro isn't sufficient to get it to compile. I get lots of "structure has no ..." errors: Modules/bz2module.c:1521: structure has no member named totalouthi32'_ _Modules/bz2module.c:1521: structure has no member named totaloutlo32' Perhaps this version of bz2 lib is too old to use with Gustavo's module?

Again, maybe we should just give up on Solaris. :-(

Please work with Gustavo to fix this after the b1 release. (I'm still waiting for the "cvs tag" command to finish...)
