Well initially I tried going: [root@beta:~] #python2.6 easy_install python2.6: can't open file 'easy_install': [Errno 2] No such file or directory But when I used the full paths of each: /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/easy_install cql It worked like a charm! [root@beta:~] #cqlsh Connected to Test Cluster at beta.jokefire.com:9160. [cqlsh 2.0.0 | Cassandra unknown | CQL spec unknown | Thrift protocol 19.20.0] Use HELP for help. cqlsh> So, thanks for your advice! That really did the trick!
