if i type python2.5 i am able to use the latest python, but if i simply
type python it taken me to the older version. (it is a minor annoyance,
but I want to know how to fix it)

 From the README file:

         There's an executable /usr/bin/python which is Python
1.5.2 on most older Red Hat installations; several key Red Hat tools
         require this version.  Python 2.1.x may be installed as
         /usr/bin/python2.  The Makefile installs Python as
         /usr/local/bin/python, which may or may not take precedence
         over /usr/bin/python, depending on how you have set up $PATH.

yes, that seems to be the case. i changed the order of entries in $PATH, and now things are working now. thanks for your help. (Lesson learnt: if it says README, better read it completely, dont stop at "Congratulations on getting this far. :-)" )
