I'm trying to build a custom RPM with a standalone Python 2.4.4 in the /opt directory to keep it isolated from the stock version of Python in CentOS 4.4. The end goal is to use it in conjunction with yet-to-be-built RPMS of the current versions of Zope and Plone.
The spec file I've constructed allows me to build a RPM successfully, but when I try to install the RPM, it complains:
error: Failed dependencies: /usr/local/bin/python is needed by python24-2.4.4-0.i386
I'm not sure if this is more of a Python or RPM issue. So, I'm hoping someone on the list knows enough about both to help me out.
Here is my spec file:
%define optdir /opt/Python-2.4.4
I've previously used a modified version of the RPMs found at:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4/rpms/
and they worked great on CentOS 4.4. They also installed alongside the python 2.3.4 that comes with CentOS 4.
