Thank you very much. I will be happy to switch to Python 2.5, abeit this would cause some recompilation and so on. By the way I have fond a fast way to fix the problem. This way is not 100% safe, but works well for me.
I downloaded and recompiled expat version 1.95.8, then I installed it replacing the old 1.95.7. Apache was happy with it, and so was python 2.4. I am not sure is safe because I think expat could be used by other part of the system so... you should be very carefully on a production environment. Anyway, the replaced library is very closed to the original.... On Feb 4, 11:39 pm, Graham Dumpleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The only other option is to upgrade to Python 2.5.
