OK guys, thanks for the quick replies. Here is the situation:
Eben - Too many dependencies to just delete 2.2
Levi - python 2.2 is installed in /usr/lib 2.3 is installed
in /usr/local/lib The binaries are installed in the respective /bin.
The new python 2.3 was downloaded as a tarball which I confirured, made,
and installed with checkinstall which converted it to an rpm and then
installed it. When I try to install Pysol, an rpm, I get a
dependency error, stating that python 2.3 is needed.
Daniel - As per above Pysol is an rpm so I can't do much about where it
looks for dependencies. Can I rebuild it and change that?
My options ? Forget about the Pysol rpm and go get a tarball? And then
rebuild that? Could I make it build to 2.2 and get rid of 2.3?
