I was going to chime in with this anyway had the thread said nothing; I strongly prefer to specify --prefix explicitly with configure. My personal habit to to build with (adjust to match): --prefix=/usr/local/python-2.6.4 and put some symlinks in /usr/local/bin afterwards (python2.6, etc). That way one doesn't tread on the system Python (after all the OS vendor distro is also a collection of packages with coordinated versions) and one can easily put in another python beside it. | > And for that matter, if OP is forced to a later Python 2 version than | > 2.4, why not 2.7.3? | | Package dependencies. If the OP intends to install a package that | doesn't support other than 2.6, you install 2.6. Indeed. And this is a strong reason to keep out of the vendor's /usr filesystem space, also.
