When I built python 2.5 for linux I did the normal: 
configure 
make 
make install 

Everything went fine til the "make install" part. It dies with no 
error. 
just says "install failed" after this: 

Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py 

That part built fine but the next part failed. 
So what I did being the industrious fellow that I am I did: 

make -n install > out 

Took the out file and did: 

sh out 

That installed python without failure. 

Now if I do "make install" everything works fine. 

Weird eh?

I'm not finding it weird that the shell script completed. I doubt it "works fine", though. Instead, some command in it failed, but the shell doesn't abort in this case - make would abort.

Typically, when byte-compilation fails, it is because you have a file byte-compiled that has a syntax error in it. Scroll through the entire compileall output to see what the actual problem is.

Tentatively closing this as "won't fix".

I think you missed the point I was trying to make. When I say "works fine" I mean
that after I installed python using the shell script, then I could run "make install" 
and it would complete the install using make without failure.

Can you reproduce the problem on your system? Can you give instructions on how to reproduce it on another system? If not, I see little chance to resolve this problem.
