Thought I would send this along, as I was prompted to - I've got Redhat 4 EL ihstalled; uname -a Linux hercules 2.6.9-5.EL #1 Wed Jan 5 19:22:18 EST 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux I installed Python 2.4.2 but that doesn't seem to help? There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.3.4 (#1, Nov 4 2004, 14:06:56) [GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this message to <yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. If I tried installing the yum from src.rpm I end up with the following; RPM build errors: user skvidal does not exist - using root group skvidal does not exist - using root user skvidal does not exist - using root group skvidal does not exist - using root File not found by glob: /var/tmp/yum-2.4.0root/usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages/yum File not found by glob: /var/tmp/yum-2.4.0root/usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages/repomd File not found by glob: /var/tmp/yum-2.4.0root/usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages/rpmUtils so apparently there is a Python problem of some sort - but what is a way around it? --Geff __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
