Python 2.3.6

[MiloPup]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Python 2.3.6 (I know 2.5 is already installed) and am getting an error:

[Code]
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Python-2.3.6$ ./configure
checking MACHDEP... linux2
checking EXTRAPLATDIR...
checking for --without-gcc... no
checking for --with-cxx=<compiler>... no
checking for c++... no
checking for g++... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
[/Code/]

I'm still getting used to Linux, could anyone help me out. I want to install this version of pyhton so I can experiment with WinLockPwn...

Ubuntu version is Ubuntu 8.04.1 / Hardy.

I'd be grateful for any help / pointers!... :p
