THAT WILL REPLACE THE DEFAULT INSTALLED PYTHON !!!!!!
DO NOT DO THAT !!!!!


What operating system are you using and it's version ?

what needs a different version of python ?

some programs like the old Blender 2.49b can have the different version IN it's folder

I am using Centos 6.5 64 bit.

I installed ptyhon-2.7.3 as an altinstall.

It worked.

But where did libpython2.7.so.1.0 install? I know it has to be there.

But where?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

then you have to be VERY careful with python
yum MUST HAVE the version that is in the base and update repo installed and used

it is VERSION dependent it is

now a different version can be installed side by side

Python2.6.6 is installed ( on my SL 6.4 )

What program is needing Python2.7

using a software reop is normally best for a system wide install
( see the end of the post)

is it just not finding a hard coded lib version
as in a error about libpython2.7.so.1.0 not found
or
is this a configure error that is erroring about python not a specific version

the current 2.7 is 2.7.6
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/

or
do you need the OLD 2.7.1 ?

for 2.7.6 use the prefix and altinstall options

but if it is only one program rant needs it then it might be a GOOD idea to install python in it's own folder and write a lunch shell script pointing to this folder and launch the program

side by side ? should not cause yum problems
there is NO guarantee on altinstall

if only one program needs it
then make a shell script to use that location

there is a third party repo
http://people.redhat.com/bkabrda/python27-rhel-6/
( never used this !!! )

and the repo used in this guide
( never used this , but looks like it will work just fine for a system wide install of 2.7 )
http://linuxsysconfig.com/2013/03/ru...ntos6rhel6sl6/



i put the different version of python in the program folder that needs it
and use a script to start that program

The program requiring that python library is par4all. Par4all needs it and it will not run without it. As I said I have an earlier version of python and par4all does not like it. I found out how to install a newer version and not disturb the older version. That is what I did.

Regardless of the versio0n where is the python lib file? That is the issue.

Any help appreciated. thanis in advance.
