Hi there Greg, I am sorry for the confusion I may have inadvertently caused.
Rocks is basically a cluster-linux distribution based on Centos (currently the version I am using is based on Centos 5.6) - and I want to use this to be able to run RDKit on all the compute nodes attached to the head (front end). This Rocks version comes with 3 (!) python distributions. Python 2.4 which is the system default, and is found in the places where you'd expect python to sit (/usr/bin etc). This python version is used for normal cluster management and execution (so this you cannot touch). Of course a ton of people wanted the newer python versions available so, since the latest Rocks, the Rocks people package python 2.7 and 3.0 in /opt (without any sources). I thought that since python 2.7 is available now (albeit via some env variables tweaks) I could skip the python 2.7 installation instructions on the rdkit centos wiki page. It seems not. :( - Jean-Paul Ebejer Early Stage Researcher On 24 November 2011 11:36, Greg Landrum <[email protected]> wrote: > JP, > > On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 12:28 PM, JP <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Of course, never once expect things to be easy. >> >> I do not have libpython2.7.so, in this distribution anywhere (the main >> python version on this machine is 2.4, and is required by the ROCKS >> cluster services).
