This is not the case with CentOS 6.5, thus the error. [By the way, RHEL 6.5 does not have python.i686 in the x86_64 repo.] > Now I've downloaded the python and python-devel i686 versions from a mirror > and tried to install locally with 'sudo rpm -Uvh python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 > python-devel-2.6.6-51.el6.i686', but I always receive the same error. If you include python-libs.i686 in the mix, it may go further. Akemi
