The opsys is rhel AS5.2. I couldn't find "yolk" on it (that's a program, right?). The machine has rpms for Python 2.4 & sqlite, but I was unable to get Django working with them. I thought Python 2.5 & later versions included sqlite, so I started installing all the software (Python, Django) in new locations under /opt.
I don't have a good grasp on installing stuff for Python. Is the link of the django dir in Pythons's site-packages all I need to install Django? How do I install sqlite and/or pysqlite2, so that Django's "syncdb" will work? The "syncdb" error appears to say that django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py can't find pysqlite2 or sqlite3. Where/how do I install them so DJango can find them? . . . . . . .
