Hiya All,

I want to install python but I don't have root priviledges on the
server.  How do I install it in my home directory?

(I'm not even sure WHERE I should install it).

I'm using bash, I've created ~/usr and ~/usr/local and ~/usr/local/bin
but I'm not doing anything with them right now.  I've also added the
~/usr/local/bin directory to my path.

I can download python okay, I can run "tar -zxvf Python-2.3.4.tgz"
just fine... I can even run "./configure"

but I don't want to install it in the default directory... so where
should I install it?

what command should I run?

"./configure --prefix=~/usr/local"  or is another place better?

Thanks!
