Dear All, I’m trying to update the python version from 2.6.x to 2.7.x in the SLES 11.4 for SAP Hana. I follow the steps belows: tar -zxvf Python-2.7.x.tar.gz cd Python-2.7.x ./configure command I get the following output: checking for --enable-universalsdk… no checking for --with-universal-archs… 32-bit checking MACHDEP… linux3 checking EXTRAPLATDIR… checking machine type as reported by uname -m… x86\_64 checking for --without-gcc… no checking for gcc… no checking for cc… no checking for cl.exe… no configure: error: in `/home3/mikos89/Python-2.7.1': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log’ for more details. How can this problem be solved? I’ve been trying to find a solution for 3 hours but it still stucks. Please help. Thank you. BR, Stevena ---

Have you tried installing ‘gcc’? What have you tried to resolve this for that period of time? ```auto sudo zypper install gcc ``` – Good luck.

Thank you.[/color] Firstly since you are using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP Applications please note that there is a forum dedicated to that at [https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?41-SLES-SAP-Applications](https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?41-SLES-SAP-Applications) Presumably since you are using SLES for SAP Applications for a reason, one of which being SAP and the another being support. If this is the case then you should not upgrade a software component by downloading the source for a later version and compiling yourself but instead do so via updated packages which SUSE release and support. If your server is registered and patch up-to-date then it has the latest Python SUSE have made available for and support SLES for SAP Applications 11 SP4. ## HTH.

You need to put the DVD in or else it cannot be read to get the ‘gcc’ and ‘linux-kernel-headers’ packages. Alternatively, register the box so it can get updates from online repositories. – Good luck.
