After extracting the Python-2.3.3.tar we could get the 
appropriate folder structure. 
We then executed the configure script. Therafter when 
we execute the make command the Python binary is not 
created in /usr/local/bin.

Any pointers??

The 'make install' target will copy the built binary to
'/usr/local/bin'.  Did you try 'make install' yet?

Are you running "make install" after "make" ?

You could try explicitly giving an installation prefix:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Otherwise you can look for newly created files like this:

find /usr -mmin -5

Hope this helps.

Most likely, "make install" was missing. Closing this report
as invalid.
