Alias doesn't apply to the search paths. Try creating a dir with a symlink python -> /usr/bin/python26 and set that in PATH before /usr/bin. Though that might not be enough, as several scripts search directly for /usr/bin/python. You may have to change your default system-wide. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
