I remember when I started using stackless, I did the ol' "make install" over the ubuntu-installed python and everything python fell over, and I had to claw my system back piece by piece.
these days what I do is : 1. ./configure --prefix=/home/me/tools/stackless (or whereever) 1.1. make install '(no sudo required) 1.2. then I'll simlink to the "~/tools/stackless/bin/python" runnable as "stackless" in either my ~/bin directory or /usr/local/bin if I want. then from the command line it's just "stackless". As a form of free advertising I guess. --- On Sun, 17/1/10, Simon Pickles <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Simon Pickles <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Stackless] Installing python + stackless python on the same > machine? > To: "stackless" <[email protected]> > Date: Sunday, 17 January, 2010, 10:08 > Richard Tew wrote: > > On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 4:49 PM, Andriy Drozdyuk > <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > >> 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?
