Re: How to install some software that requires Python 2.6 and rejects 2.7?
You can try this source RPM. For whatever reason the configure shortcut doesn't work in F17 so autogen.sh needs to be run. Of course this means that you end up running ./configure twice but it doesn't hurt anything and it does build for F17 in mock for me. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34775202/scribes-0.4-0.bzr2017r1032.2.fc16.src.rpm Richard -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Easiest solution is to download the source RPM instead and rebuild it on your system: http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/rpms/scribes-0.4-0.bzr2017r1032.1.el6.src.rpm I took a look at the spec file for it and I didn't see anything obvious that would make it fail on f17 but autoreconf is complaining. I'm not much of an autoconf guru but I'll see if it's something easy. On a side note it looks like scribes was added to Fedora some time ago but I can't find it now so I assumed it was retired. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=189727 Richard -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
