Problem: Need help!! - thanks

[Mongryong]

I'm running RedHat 8 and it comes with Python2.2.1.  However, I do all
MY work with Python2.2.2.  The RedHat Python2.2.1 is installed in
/usr/bin while my Python2.2.2 is installed in /usr/local/bin.  I do this
just in-case there are some compatibitiy issues.  For example, RedHat 8
installs and uses PyXML 0.6.6 but if you update to PyXML to 0.8.1, a lot
of the RedHat tools don't work anymore.

On RedHat, its a good idea to separate the RedHat distribution from your
own personally installed apps to prevent incompatibility issues.  My
suggestion is to only use the RedHat certified RPMs to update your
Redhat distribution (/usr).  Keep all you personal apps in /usr/local/

Since RedHat 8 hasn't provided an update for Python2.1 (/usr/bin), I
doubt that they have provided an update for RedHat 7.3 to use
Python2.2.  I think that is your problem.  If this is the case, you
should re-install the Python that comes with 7.3 and install the new
Python2.2 in /usr/local/bin.
