Python since version 1.6 has the distutils included. Either
your installation is borked or you missed to install the
Distutils.
See also http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Calvin

After downloading your distutils, build and installed it, I was
able to get some further. I then found that my python
installation was to old. After upgrading to latest version,
python 2.2.1 it all compiled and installed very well. Then the
crusial test startet --- to run the program :-). I tried the
following command "./linkchecker /web/www/index.html"
which pointed to at to an internal html copy of a hole web site.

Following error came up:

[root@rax11 linkchecker-1.6.2]

./linkchecker /web/www/index.html

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./linkchecker", line 346, in ?
from linkcheck import UrlData
File "./linkcheck/UrlData.py", line 18, in ?
import sys, re, urlparse, urllib, time, traceback, socket,
select, DNS
ImportError: No module named DNS

Obvious its a missing module again :-)) Any idea of its name
or where it is supposed to be, or where have I missed it?

I have also doubled checked my linckchecker-1.6.2.tar.gz. It
does not contain the distutils. Maybe something has gone
wrong in that build? The file is only 163910 bytes long, while
distutils-1.0.2.tar.gz alone is 233742 bytes long.

With very best regards and thanks for your help

The homepage says it all :)
Requirements for LinkChecker are Python >= 2.1 and PyDNS from
http://pydns.sourceforge.net.

LinkChecker does not ship with the requirements included -
you have to install them yourself, so the tarball is not
corrupt. Hmm, this reminds me to provide an md5sum file next
time.

Cheers.
