Hi,

 

sorry, it still can't work. Installation of Python is ok though.

 

the error msg is the same though:

What linux is this? Just get python sources from http://python.org/
[sugest python-2.4] - and install your own copy - and try with it.

configure python with:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/python-2.4
make
make install

And configure PETSc with:
${HOME}/python-2.4/bin/python config/configure.py
