chetan,

    If you show us the result of "make install" it will help.

    What do mean by "install python2.3 on python2.2"? Are you copying
over the rh python or putting p2.3 in /usr/local?

    I installed p2.3 on rh9 with no problems (except that Tkinter.askstring)
fails sporatically on grab fail. I didn't have the guts to mess with
the rh python. Instead, I run 2.3 from a script that changes the
environment. If you put the 2.3 ahead of the rh2.2 in path, and do nothing
else, you will break things like the network hardware tool.
