如何解决SUSE平台python编译问题“Failed to build these modules: _curses_panel”

常规手法编译安装：

./configure –prefix=/home/oracle/sj/python2.7

make 后提示如下：

To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module’s name.

Failed to build these modules: _curses_panel

第一反应肯定是遗漏装了curses_panel 需要的RPM包，查看setup.py 文件，查看curses相关发现：

# Curses support, requiring the System V version of curses, often

# provided by the ncurses library.

所以需要安装ncurses相关的RPM包，对于RPM的搜索可以在线查找http://rpmfind.net/

查看系统是否已经安装：

rpm -qa|grep ncurses

libncurses5-32bit-5.6-90.55

ncurses-devel-5.6-90.55

ncurses-devel-32bit-5.6-90.55

yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.17.16-0.1.77

libncurses5-5.6-90.55

libncurses6-32bit-5.6-90.55

libncurses6-5.6-90.55

yast2-ncurses-2.17.17-0.4.38

ncurses-utils-5.6-90.55

好了，奇怪了，都已经有了。查看make 出错日志

/home/oracle/sj/software/needed_python/Python-2.7.3/Modules/_curses_panel.c:17:19: error: panel.h: No such file or directory

发现找不到panel.h 文件，然后怀疑查看Include是不是少文件了?

gcc 默认应该会扫描/usr/include和/usr/local/include寻找对应H文件

find /usr/include -name “panel.h”

/usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/panel.h

/usr/include/ncurses6/ncursesw/panel.h

/usr/include/ncurses/panel.h

/usr/include/ncursesw/panel.h

OK，修改Python-2.7.3/Modules/_curses_panel.c 文件

#include /usr/include/ncurses/panel.h

重新编译即可

后发现http://bugs.python.org/issue12271已经有补丁可以修复
