I'll probably realize what stupid thing I'm doing as soon as I send this message, but oh well if that's what it takes ... ;)
I want to install setuptools on a centos 4.3 system, for which the system python is 2.4 (ugh) so I've compiled and installed python 2.6 into /usr/local. When I try running the setuptools egg as a shell script, the following happens: --------------------------------------------------------------- $ type python2.6 python2.6 is /usr/local/bin/python2.6 $ sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg [sudo] password for waterbug: setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg: line 3: exec: python2.6: not found --------------------------------------------------------------- ... which seems odd. Just as an experiment, I tried running it without sudo -- it then finds python2.6 but conks out with a different error: --------------------------------------------------------------- $ sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg prefix=~ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named setuptools.command.easy_install --------------------------------------------------------------- Any suggestions appreciated! Hope this isn't a faq that I missed ...
