Do you need to install to /opt instead of the default of /usr/local/bin? I have multiple versions of Python installed on a Red Hat system (Centos, but RH should be the same) using the default prefix of /usr/local/bin and don't have any trouble. I recommend you try again with just: ./configure make make altinstall then add an alias to your .bashrc alias python=python2.7 and see how that works for you. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
