"Normal" RHEL doesn't come with python 2.7.1, that can explain why the rpms
you built have dependancies on python in /tools that no RPMs provides. If I
were you, I would try to redo all the steps whitout any references to the
python in /tools (remove it from your $PATH etc). Not sure it will fix
everything, but at least should fix the RPMs depandancies.
If you just type the command "python -V" what's the output? Should be 2.6.6
on RHEL. You should ask your IT dep what else they have changed in your
RHEL.
