Hi All - I'm trying to compile Python on a Centos machine (RHEL) 3.8 for a hosting account that I just set up and I'm having 2 issues:
1. I ran into an issue with the "hashlib" module [I think] because it bumps it up against an *OLD* openssl lib (like, Feb. 2003). So I installed a newer openssl lib, but when I recompiled python it still used the old library. So I tried ./configure again with the flag: "- with-openssl-libs=/new/directory" but it still didn't work. Any idea how I might be able to remedy this? I have a working solution right now: I've commented out the last 2 lines of hashlib.py, but I'd rather not do that if I didn't have to. 2. As part of this process, I installed "easy_install" and I was trying to download psycopg2 but I got the error: "PyDateTimeAPI defined but not used" when trying to compile. I've had this problem before when trying to compile psycopg2 and it was because I didn't have the postgres header libs installed (libpq-dev) ... but that's on a debian box, and I can't figure out how to fix it on the RHEL one. I know the 2nd question might not belong in this group, but I thought I'd ask just in case someone ran into this before or might have any suggestions. Thanks in advance (as always!) for your help!
