Missing _bssd in Python 2.4

[jalil]

I compiled and installed python 2.4 on Redhat Linux using default
options but don't seem to be getting _bsddb. I get an error message
that _bssd cannot be imported.

Does anybody know why this might happen? Do I need to do any special
customization or install any other software?

Thanks,

You need to install the bsddb header files and development libraries
when building Python from source.

I actually installed BerkeleyBD4.0 and commented out some sections of
Modules/Setup that I found related to this. I got the _bsddb.o in the
build environment but I still get the same error from bsddb/__init.py__
that it cannot import _bsddb.

Anything I am missing? Where should this _bsddb go exactly? Is it an
..so file?

Thanks,
