Re: problems installing python 2.2.2 on solaris 8

Aha, somebody else had a permission  problem, so even if it isn't
John Bernhardt's problem, we should document it.

I had the same problem. For some reason, the dynamic modules permissions are
not changed when installing (at least that was my problem).
check the lib-dynload subdirectory and make sure that the permissions of the
".so" files are 644, in my case they were 600, which caused the failure to
load.
