My point is that the installation of python involves the installation of several rpms. So to say python is installed does not mean all of python is installed. That is what happened on one of my FC4 machines. All of my yum upgrading did not install python-tools to add to the other 10 or so python related rpms I had installed. I had to specifically yum install python-tools and some other rpms that came along with it. > -- ======================================================================= An artist should be fit for the best society and keep out of it. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
