I have been away for some days, so I've lost the context on this exchange. However, I picked up on the phrase "latest Python." So, the bottom line -- Don't do it. The latest Python on Fedora, as in the Fedora development repositories and that which is coming to us via Fedora 7 later this month is Python 2.5. You ask for massive headaches trying to convert Fedora 6 (or earlier) to Python 2.5. As I said, don't do it. Instead, install F-7 when released. It's pretty cool--with Gnome-2.18, etc., etc. Janina Jim Wantz writes: > Well, unless things have changed since Fedora Core 3 one thing you > definitely do NOT want to do is to compile and install the latest python. > That will trash yum for sure! > I did recover from that mistake eventually, but it wasn't fun. > > Jim Wantz
