I dropped the src in ~/src/Python-2.5.1, created a ~/py-2.5.1 directory, and did ./configure --prefix=/home/me/py-2.5.1 make make install and it worked fine. The only other step after that was creating a symlink: cd ln -s py-2.5.1 py and adding /home/me/py/bin to my $PATH. > Doesn't seem like hyper-paranoid sysadmining is all that efficient, does it? Well, on a server with many other users, they've pretty much gotta keep you confined to your home directory. My issues have been with keeping a ~/pylib directory for extra modules, and reconciling that with setuptools / Easy Install. I'm curious to hear how other folks manage their own local module directory. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
