Sorry about being unclear.
It is not possible to use another distance in the RBF kernel. You have to precompute it your own.
But it is possible to do grid search using the precomputed kernel.

Cheers,
Andy

I'm not sure to understand: do you mean that this is possible to change the distance used within the RBF kernel because I didn't see documentation about it?

Thank you

    Yes, you have to precompute the whole kernel.

    This is supported at least since 0.11, maybe earlier.
    The code is not very mature yet so if you run into any troubles,
    please
    let us know.
