Hi to all who answered me and thanks for the good assistance. I gave
up on the binary distribution right off, and tried to build it from
source on RHEL5. I had the most difficulty with the libffi part, I
tried a server located directory, /usr/local, and finally /usr as my
libffi installdir, but gave up finally with the key error being the ffi
include file not being located. RHEL6 has this libffi library readily
available to our installs, I may pursue an install from the source on
RHEL6 instead, once I go over the pre-reqs. It worked fine with the
existing SSL libraries as others posted, I did not need 0.9.8 at all.
The absolute most help are the RPM's built by David Malcolm at EPEL,
thanks so much for those. They installed well and I will place them in
our satellite server for subsequent kickstarts. Our researchers have
had a nice speedup with their python and are very eager to try it.
So my next problem is that the users upped their request. They did not
tell me they wanted particular modules also, such as numpy. I saw
reference to numpypy and will look into that, I've not read any docs on
installing pypy modules yet. I'm familiar with installing python
modules already.
I do have a question along those lines. We have a fileserver located
python 2.7.2 and we install python modules into that location. When I
am building pypy from the source I have been using that version of
python. If I use that python and am successful at building pypy will
users of my pypy have access to the python modules in that python
install, or rather do I need to independently install all the modules
pypy users want into the pypy filetree? i.e., Does pypy use the
available python modules on the host, or does it need its own?
thanks to all again,
Dale

FWIW, I've built PyPy 1.8 in RPM form for RHEL 5 and 6, within the
"EPEL" community repositories: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
So if you've configured the EPEL repos, you can install pypy via:
# yum install pypy
and not have to do the translation yourself.
Note that this is a side-project by me, not an "official" Red
Hat-supported thing.
The EPEL 5 builds of pypy 1.8 can be seen here:

The EPEL 6 builds of pypy 1.8 can be seen here:

Hope this is helpful
