These shared libaries are in other packages but the Python you are trying 
to install is configured to provide optional modules that use them. The 
Python RPM you are using was built on a system with these other packages 
installed and the Python RPM you have is now dependent on them.

If you build Python 2.2.1 from source on your machine it will hopefully 
detect which optional modules it can include based on what is installed on 
your machine. Either that or you can adjust the Modules setup file to meet 
your needs.. Either download the Python source .tgz or you could try using 
the SRPM that is the companion to the RPM you've been using.

Personally, I always build from the .tgz as I find it simple and reliable.

If you use the SRPM you may have to modify the SPEC file, depending on how 
that is set up,  to avoid the same problem with the RPM you reconstruct 
from it.

I don't have an answer to your exact question.  I can tell you
though that I run RH 6.1.  I downloaded and installed, with no
problems, Python 2.2.1 from the source, rather than from RPMs.

Okay, I've spent four or five hours trying to figure out how to get Python 2.2.1 
installed with no success
at all. Every attempt is met with a long string of unmet dependencies. If I have to 
upgrade the blasted
machine from RedHat 6.2, which works perfectly well in this context, in order to move 
forware with MailMan
I'm going to have to rethink the whole idea.

I did find a RedHat 6.2 RPM for  Python, but reports:
error: failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1
libexpat.so.0 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1
libssl.so.2 is needed by python2-2.2.1-1

Are those likely to be in one of the other Python RPMs, like python2-devel or 
python2-tools? Or will those
just expose six hundred more dependencies?

[Mailman-Users] Beta upgrade FAQ or How-To?

2002-09-30 Thread G. Armour Van Horn

I've decided that it's time to make the jump to the beta, and I'm wondering if anyone 
is maintaining
any guides for the process. I have a new list to setup, which will be my first with a 
virtual domain,
but I also have a dozen current lists to preserve.

I assume that this is touched on in the docs with the package, but would like to at 
least look at
anything else out there before I actually tackle the change.

Van
