After a thread of clueless replies, it's clear that nobody
responding actually read the build log. Here's the problem:
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
bsddb185
dl
imageop
sunaudiodev
What's wrong is that the Python 2.6 build script is looking for
some antiquated packages that aren't in a current RHEL. Those
need to be turned off.
This is a known problem (see
http://pythonstarter.blogspot.com/2010/08/bsddb185-sunaudiodev-python-26-ubuntu.html)
but, unfortunately, the site with the patch for it
(http://www.lysium.de/sw/python2.6-disable-old-modules.patch)
is no longer in existence.
But someone archived it on Google Code, at
http://code.google.com/p/google-earth-enterprise-compliance/source/browse/trunk/googleclient/geo/earth_enterprise/src/third_party/python/python2.6-disable-old-modules.patch
so if you apply that patch to the setup.py file for Python 2.6, that
ought to help.
You might be better off building Python 2.7, but you asked about 2.6.
