That's it. createrepo is just this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py "$@" But the programs called by createrepo had the /usr/bin/python hard coded in, so it was accessing 2.3's executable but it was trying to use libs for 2.4. After fixing that, now I'm back full circle to the original problem. I build & install the rpm python modues under $HOME/packages/lib/python2.4, but even though I add that directory to $PYTHONPATH, then the run of create repo fails because it cannot find the module "rpm". > > Where can I find a copy of creatrepo (assuming it's python)? > I got the createrepo stuff from an RPM in Scientific Linux 5 createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.noarch from the SRPM file in their server is just the one from fedora core 6, ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/scientific/50/SRPMS/vendor/createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.src.rpm But you can get the newer one here. http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/createrepo-0.4.10-1.fc8.src.rpm In case you just want a quick glance at one of their programs, I'm attaching an original, unchanged version of genpkgmetadata.py for your convenience. pj > -- > Mike Meyer <mwm@xxxxxxxxx> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html > Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information. > -- Paul E.
