Hi,

As someone else said, there really should be a mercurial package to install. But in case there isn't:

1. I'd use a Python 2.x version (e.g. the latest 2.6.x version) as Python 3 is a new beast. At least check which version is required. It'll either be 2 or 3, but not either.

The other things sound like you need extra libs installed, and chasing them might be a bit of a job, hence the package suggestion. You'll also probably need python suport for them as well. If you do decide to go this route, you'll probably need devel packages of each relevant package.

Geoff.
