got it from bittorrent official site
ok, think I'l update Python to ver 4, and use the RPM for 4
This isn't a hot idea. You're most likely going to wreck yum and several other apps as johnny points out. Building from source on an rpm based distro isn't a good idea. To top it off, when it breaks and you ask for help, we're probably going to tell you to use the packages centos shipped with.
tnx, but, there is a reason for installing the original, core, bittorrent,
Dag's bittorrent IS the core bittorrent. It's simply rebuilt against our version of python.
as I'm following this site, http://lue.dyn.dhs.org/2005/20050708135201.html
It's nice to know that you're willing to wreck your system because someone wrote something an article that's distro neutral. You need to keep in mind that each distribution has their own slightly different ways of doing things. It's best to ask questions about how to get things running within the distro community. They'll tell you the right ways to do things, and the centos community both on irc and on the mailing list has tremendous amounts of good information.
