Question python2.2 Dependencies


Dear All,
I have RH 7.1 and Python 1.5.2. Now I got python2.2...rpm. If I am trying to install it (2.2) it shows me following dependencies not found.
libcrypto.so.2
libdb-3.2.so
libreadline.so.4
libssl.so.2

I tried to locate the sources for the above on internet. But they individually as a .rpm package look toooo heavy for me to download.

Can anybody suggest / tell me how can I install the latest 2.2 of python and overcome the above dependencies.

Thanks.
Awaiting replies.
Rajesh.

download the source rpm and do as root

rpm --rebuild python-xx.xx

this should place rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (unless you specify a different architecture in the rebuild.
Then install from your rebuilt rpms.

later

But the dependencies won't be solved right.
or will they?

try to locate sources for the libraries
google will be very easy
I searched for readline and found
http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/rltop.html

the sources will be in tar.gz format

Now compile the thing and ur libraries will b ready.

put 'em in /lib /usr/lib or whatever that is appropriate on ur system

#rpm -iv --nodeps packagename
to install

Smile --nodeps worked!

Thanks Everybody,
rpm with --nodeps worked for my problem of dependencies. Even python 2.2 is working fine. Now only time and experiments will tell me if I have really overcome the dependencies!

Anyway Thank You very much.
