---> I got the python-2.3.5.spec file from the python-2.3.5.tar , after placing spec and source.tar in the respective directories to build rpm , it is giving the above error , how this tmp file is created while using 
rpmbuild -bb /home/shashi/redhat/SPECS/python-2.3.spec  

I am new to this building rpms , 
Any help ?


Thanks & Regards ,
shashidhar

Your options are few. Installing python 2.3.5 via tar made it so that
the python modules installed via rpm are not available.

Your choices really are:

1. uninstall python 2.3.5
2. rebuild everything for it.

As a general rule it is not a good idea to ever install pkgs via tar
when you're using a package managed distribution.
