Hi :-)

I have an issue and I would like to ask the more experienced users, if there's 
a better solution to my problem than the one I've found... 

I need to install ClueMapper (http://www.cluemapper.org/), which among other 
things uses Trac, and it requires python-2.5. Unfortunatelly, the Linux 
distribution, that is installed on the server (CentOS) only has packages for 
python-2.4. The packages for swig and subversion (including devel), as well as 
the bindings (python-subversion) for python2.4 were already installed with 
yum.

There is already a custom built python-2.5 in /opt/python-2.5.2, but it does 
not have the svn bindings, that Trac uses. What is the best way to install 
them without breaking the system (default) python and it's bindings? 

I've managed to get it done (sort of), by downloading subversion source, 
configuring it with:
PYTHON=/opt/python-2.5.2/bin/python ./configure --prefix=/opt/local/subversion

and then building and installing bindings with:
make swig-py && make install-swig-py

The generated libraries and bindings get installed into /opt/local/subversion, 
and I can use them in python-2.5 (and thus in ClueMapper/Trac). 

This works but somehow it feels "dirty" - is there a better way to get svn 
bindings for the "second" python? Can I somehow use the libraries and devel 
files already installed from packages?

I would be glad for any help and pointers of what is best to do in such 
situations :-)

Best regards :-),
Maciej

PS. Please excuse my poor English...
