Python Installation problems on Redhat Enterprise Linux.

Hi All,

I have to upgrade python installed on my Redhat enterprise Linux 4. I downloaded the latest python package from python website but not able to install the new package as the make command itself goes on running for more than a day. Can some help me regarding this. Is ther any method to quickly install the package on the machine.

Since you are running Red Hat, go for searching the python's RPM packet for your distro.
