[BioPython] problem installing mxTextTools

[Hugh R]

Hello, I am trying to install biopython. I've run into trouble straight away, 
trying to install the mxTextTools stuff. 
 I following the steps, download, gunzip, tar, then I try the python setup.py 
build and have a problem with gcc and an undeclared varialbe, apparently.
  Here is the full text of whats printed out. I grepped around a bit and can't 
even find __builtin_va_alist.   I tried it running as root, and as myself, in 
different directories, and got the same thing.
   I believe its the latest python, gcc 2.95.2, sun solaris, but I've just 
started working on this system. Thanks for any thoughts.
