I would stay at Python 2.3... Centos (like redhat) relies heavily on Python. Sure, you could hack it a bit and install both versions (which you obviously have), but IMO, it's not worth it. What feature of 2.5 is required that 2.3 can't do? I'd guess that the mysqldb compile is somehow being confused by the default 2.3 and the version you've installed or is conflicting with other versions of itself? Again, unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade, don't or get a more flexible OS that easily allows for this sort of thing (like Debian) Brad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
