2.4? Well, if you insist.

What have you tried so far?

I tried downloading python 2.4 from http://fixunix.com/redhat/351362-python-2-4-rhel4.html as .src.rpm. It first ran:
Code:
rpm -ivh <>.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPEC
rpmbuild -bb <>.spec
was a long listing of compilation but it exited as:
Code:
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3610 (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3610 (%install)

have you tried the python 2.4.6 tar.bz2
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4...-2.4.6.tar.bz2
or
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/
or the OLD one( from 2004 )

Yes I did it...
I downloaded python 2.6 .src file from python.org and follow up with .configure;make;make install.

It went well.
