I'm trying to get Python installed on a Zaurus, running OpenBSD. While python-dev can be a good place to get questions like this answered, many more people read comp.lang.python, and you should ask there, too.

Thanks ... I found my problem, once I'd put in enough prints into setup.py to look at what what happening (I do wish I knew how to use the python debugging features better than I do) and read the library code, I realized that it seemed to be finding the libraries by relying on the Linux habit of softlinking libraries like libtcl85.so.1.0 to libtcl85.so. This isn't done on the zaurus (until I forced it for the tcl libraries), and clearing this, got all my python 2.4.1 installed. I've played a bit with graphics already. so I guess I did it right.
