My goal is to install python2.4 using yum (wouldn't you know it, it's a dependency for something else).
>From this page (), I followed the following instructions: 1. ...creat "/etc/yum.repos.d/python24.repo" with the following lines: [python24] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Python 2.4 baseurl=http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/fedora-$releasever/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 2. Add the KRUD GPG key by running: "rpm --import http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/KRUD-GPG-KEY"; 3. Install Python 2.4 by running: "yum install python2.4". This is the output I get after running the yum install line: ... Cannot find a package matching python2.4 No actions to take Now, I've checked two things well, the python24.repo file I created is just as it is above, except instead of $releasever, I have 3. This is because my version would otherwise attempt 3AS here. And next, I followed the repository to make sure such a path would have something there. It does: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/fedora-3/ So, why the heck doesn't this find python2.4??? These are all the instructions posted on Python's site to install using yum. So, what's wrong? TIA, Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
