Hi Michael,
Your quick response is appreciated. However it ain't so easy :-(
After moving keepalive.py* out of the way and editing Makefile to remove
the reference to it, I ran "make && make install". So far, fine. Then
I try the biggie "yum list updates":
[root@osage emacs]# yum list updates
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
ImportError: Bad magic number in /usr/share/yum/yummain.pyc
Unfortunately, though I have many years experience as a software
developer, python is new to me. What does one do about magic numbers?
Thanks.
David
