Compiling Python 3.3.2 on CentOS 6.4 - unable to find compiled OpenSSL?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

We have a machine running CentOS 6.4, and we're attempting to compile Python 3.3.2 on it:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

We've compiled openssl 1.0.1e 11 by hand on this box, and installed it into/usr/local/:

# openssl
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

# ls /usr/local/include/openssl/
aes.h blowfish.h cmac.h crypto.h dso.h ec.h hmac.h md4.h obj_mac.h pem2.h rand.h safestack.h ssl23.h symhacks.h ui.h

However, when we try to build Python 3.3.2, it can't seem to find the SSL installation:

# make
-----------------------------------------------
Modules/Setup.dist is newer than Modules/Setup;
check to make sure you have all the updates you
need in your Modules/Setup file.
Usually, copying Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup will work.

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_dbm _gdbm _lzma
_tkinter
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


Failed to build these modules:

I also tried editing the Modules/Setup.dist file, no luck there either.

Any thoughts on what we're doing wrong?

Cheers,
Victor
