Sorry, but that thread is confusing.
When he says "it is a better idea to install stackless in /usr/local/
" how do I do that?
It installs wherever it installs by itself when I call "make install"?
I do not use these tools myself, developing on Windows, but I believe
it is common knowledge that you can choose where software gets
installed by passing options to 'configure'. Maybe look in
'./configure --help' before you execute it? The word 'prefix' comes
to mind, so I imagine the option would be related to that.
Richard is right, you can modify the install location in configure.
My advice is don't. It will install in /usr/local, leaving your regular
python in /usr
Just rename the stackless python binary to give you a choice when
running python:
mv /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/spython
/usr/local/bin is scanned before /usr/bin. Renaming it avoids your
system running stackless when it calls 'python' . You can call stackless
by running 'spython'
Hope this is right, all from memory :)
