It sounds like your Red Hat installation is hosed. yum is a basic part of the OS, and Red Hat uses Python internally. I know more about Ubuntu than Red Hat, but it should not have let you uninstall an essential package without explicit override options, so the alternative is that the OS files are corrupted and who knows what else is wrong too. If the first error message was about yum, that could have caused a cascade of errors leading to the zlib problem. I.e., if you fix the yum problem, maybe the zlib problem will go away by itself. But if you can't solve the problem easily to your satisfaction (e.g., by installing zlib or yum, or compiling Python yourself to /usr/local), your time would be better spent reinstalling the OS. It's an unlikely possibility, but there may be a 'python-zlib' package you're missing. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
