python 2.7.2 install

Question

I tried to install Python 2.7.2 from source.

I run ./configure, make and make install.
It complains the following errors when make install.
from _struct import * ImportError: No module named _struct

My OS is: centOS 5.2 final
GCC version: 4.1.2

I met the same problem in Centos. The solutions in the link given by Fredrik can't resolve my problem.

My workaround is to install python2.6 using RPM package. The method can be found here:

Install python 2.6 in CentOS : "use the EPEL-repository, and then do sudo yum install python26 to install python 2.6"
