I've looked all over the Linux@Duke pages and Google. So I've attempted it on my own, trying both the source (make, make install) and the rpm. I've also tried rpmbuild --rebuild <package>. After both attempts I always get the following message: > > <lnx00:~>$ yum > 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, Feb 2 2005, 11:44:49) > [GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)] > If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to > the yum faq at: > http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq > > I am running RHEL4 with the current version of Python and gcc. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. > Grab the RPMs from CentOS 4 and use those. Chances are whatever version you're rebuilding is putting the python modules in the wrong directory (e.g. python2.4 instead of 2.3). http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/ Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
