Hi All, I'm a beginner on this. I was trying to install a new python version which is 2.7.5. My OS(RHEL6) had already installed version 2.6. so I downloaded the tar and unzipped it then executed ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-shared \ --with-system-expat \ --with-system-ffi \ --enable-unicode=ucs4 && make
afterwards sudo make install && sudo chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.4/general/python2.html This is what I followed and which got me here. everything was successfully finished. afterwards when I type python in the terminal I get below error: python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I guess from the little knowledge I have I should have executed altinstall instead of install. Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
