Python RPM package arch compatability
Hello all, A quick question if I may. I'm running RHEL 4 on a x86_64 and I'm curious if any of the packages at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4/rpms/ would suite my setup. If they don't can I simply build from source and not overwrite /usr/bin/Python (for the same reasons as listed at the above mentioned webpage)? Respectfully, Christopher Taylor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So just build it from source and use make altinstall instead? That simple huh? Will I need to do anything else to make sure things are put in their correct place?
