Sure. Python2.4 builds just fine on RHEL2.1: # uname -r 2.4.9-e.65enterprise # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) # python2.4 Python 2.4.2 (#1, Nov 3 2005, 08:53:49) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-129.7.2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> The system installed python1.5 is prefixed to /usr. By default, ./configure for python will prefix to /usr/local. You should (assuming you have the proper development tools installed) be able to just ./configure; make; make install (assuming you have the proper permissions). They can coexist just fine. - Bill > > Jeremy > > > > From: Fredrik Lundh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: python-list@python.org > Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 10:20:21 +0200 > Subject: Re: Python on RedHat AS 2.1? > > Jeremy Winters wrote: > > > Installable package? > > > > Any ideas? > > is RedHat no longer providing pre-built packages for their > distributions ? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Talk is cheap.
