Your answer is right at the end of the initial command in your pasting - You are doing the right thing by compiling the software as a regular user, but the only user who can alter things (or install them) in /usr/bin is root. You'll need to do the same command as root, and it will work fine.

Hi JimBass this is the problem i get when i try to run SABnzbd.py

Always a good idea to google up your errors. I googled for "from cherrypy.filters.gzipfilter import GzipFilter" and the first hit was http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-i...-t2557397.html

You'll have to get the gzipfilter installed into cherrypy. I don't use cherrypy, so I can't tell you how that is done. If you don't know, I would again suggest becoming good friends with the mightiest of mighties, google.

Hi JimBass i have found what causing the problem is my python i am using python 2.4.1-5.1 sabnzdb needs Python-2.4.2 or higher can i install two python and run them one for my other apps and one for sabnzbd if i remove python 2.4.1-5.1 my other apps will not work

Thanks

You could install 2 different versions of Python, but you really have to be careful about it. You would want to put the version that only sabnzbd needs in somewhere strange, like in /opt or so. The right place to install software is /usr/local, butyou may have issues depending on how other programs call on python. If they call it with the full path of /usr/bin/python, or /usr/lib/python, it will be fine, but if they just call python, and you have the special version in /usr/local, it may get used.

The best thing to do would be to wait until all the programs are using the 2.4.2 version.

You could install the 2.4.2 version in /opt, or any other location outside of /usr, and configure just sabnzbd to use that version. You'll have to do something like ./configure --help to find the way to specify the location of python, as it will look in the standard locations, which has the old version of python.

What you are looking to do is somewhat difficult. You'll need to be very careful about permissions and the configurations options. It can be done, but you have to be very comfortable with command line options.

hi JimBass thanks for that i will just have wait till mandriva bring out a python update for 2006 i know mandriva 2007 has the right ppython but it still too buggy and most of the apps i need do not work very well in it yet
