Hi,
In my struggle today to get python2.4 installed on my CentOS4 system, I saw
that it installed a packaged called alternatives which is supposed to handle
symbolic links to default commands in a nice clean, structured way.
However, I am having trouble understanding how this thing works.
I have read the man page half a dozen times already, and yet the alternative
link for python which was installed doesn't seem to follow what is written
in the man page. I am trying to modify the default behaviour for it, but
having a lot of difficulty.
Of course, with a name like "alternatives", it makes searching Google,
tldp.com, etc very difficult.
Does anyone have experience with this package and/or can anyone point me in
the direction of some good examples, documentation for it? Something a bit
more explanative than the man page.
Thanks!
Eric
