From a terminal application within gnome, my default Python is:
[ykarant@jb344 ~]$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Feb 21 2013, 19:26:11)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2

despite having to install whatever the BlueGriffon build required.
A number of the responses concerning the build of BlueGriffon further
underscore the general lack of polymorphism and encapsulation in the
Linux environment as distributed. In a proper modern OS environment, an
application that requires non-system versions of applications (other
than the core libraries required by the OS itself, a more daunting
problem) would have only these in the path of both the building steps
and during the execution of the built application, preferably still
allowing a dynamic rather than a static image of the built application.

Python2.7 can be installed in, say, /usr/local/..., while leaving
2.6 (or for SL5, 2.4) as the default version. When you then need to use
version 2.7 there may be some pain with libraries, but perhaps not too
much to endure.

I took a look a thte Fedora SRPM's, which unfortunately ended about 3
years
ago with a very out of date release. The current release requires Python
2.7, which is begging for pain to install on an SL 6 system.
SL 7 should be much more compatible with current releases.

I now have built from source BlueGriffon for X86-64 SL6x, version
1.7.2.99.20130729, Build 20131013142156, Codename 'Cla-de-Lue'
I can provide detailed instructions or just a copy of both the
mozconfig
file used for the build and the typescript of the building.
I have had to add a few RPMs to SL6x from other distributions. There
was a query on a different thread (same general topic, but a different
subject line) as to why I used a 5x CentOS RPM for one of the
dependencies of the build. I could not find a 6x EL version. The
application was not a systems application that would
overwrite/override
other files, and seemed to be constrained with a unique
identifier. My
experience is that many EL 5 and even EL 4 applications still "work"
with EL 6, as did this. Presumably, if the EL 6 version is available,
that too would work.

Do you have a place to download the RPM?
I have the full directory as well as the built files -- but the source
code did not come with any obvious configuration/script software to
build a
RPM. Moreover, I do not have the personnel resources to support this
application for future updates, although I expect that the steps that
I did
will work for such updates.
I have not built this for the IA-32 platform, only X86-64. Is anyone
with
an IA-32 SL6x development system willing to repeat the exercise to
produce
an IA-32 platform version?
Can you supply the necessary information to build a RPM as well as
properly specify dependencies?
