python install problem
Configuring Zope installation
Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named string
Python version found at /usr/bin/python
Python version 2.2.2 found at /usr/bin/python2
No suitable Python version found. You should install
Python version 2.3.4 before continuing. Versions
2.3.3 also work, but not as optimally.
This is after I downloaded the most recent version of Python. When I run 'python' to get the interpreter, it says,
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

inside the file, config.log, I see a lot of failures that look alarming to me, but the program goes on its merry way, and doesn't have any complaints at the end. In particular, I see the following line a lot:
configure: failed program was: /* confdefs.h. */
As an aside, what news reader can I get for my Linux box? I haven't found how to do this on google.
