Answer 1

I'm using Redhat and have met the same problem.

My solution is :

1. install openssl and openssl-devel ---- yum install openssl openssl-devel -y
2. install krb5-devel ---- yum install krb5-devel
3. change to your python's directory and recompile it ---- make

If I didn't do the 2nd step, when I recompiled my python2.7 , the log would say " fail to build module _ssl".
