My first pint would be that 2.7.5 is not that old. Unless you have a very specific feature that you need in 2.7.11 you probably don't need to bother upgrading it. The "Whats New" file is here and covers everything back to 2.7.5. https://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/53d30ab403f1/Misc/NEWS > I am facing deep troubles installing Assuming you do need to install it can you use an rpm package (ISTR CentOS uses rpm format?)

I've never used CentOS but I can't think why they wouldn't allow gcc to install for a normal user. Most Linux distros come with gcc already there. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
