Hi Fancois,
I do something similar on RHEL3 and 4 servers.. The system python is
something like 2.3.3 on those machines. I create a python 2.4.5 rpm that
installs as "python2.4" (the libs also reference that name eg
/usr/lib/python2.4/..)
Then I just configure zope using --with-python=$(which python2.4). I do the
same thing with python 2.5 for non-zope applications where I want the python
2.5 goodies.
On a redhat system it is nice to have python in an rpm.. Makes it easy to
upgrade when python.org releases fixes.
I can put up my spec file and maybe a quick howto if anyone is interested..
python.org hasn't released rpms for quite a while now.
Come to think of it, I pretty much convert anything I install on a redhat
system to rpm.
Charles
