Greetings all, I am new to SUSE, but not new to Unix in general. I wanted to know what is the most correct way to downgrade Python 2.4 which was installed as default to 2.3.5. One of the special application needs Python 2.3.5. I installed the 2.3.5 from source without any problem, but YaST doesn't see it. If I removed the 2.4.* using YaST, the Kde desktop stop working. Can anyone give me a hint? Chen

After running make, use checkinstall to generate a RPM, then "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/python-2.3.5-1.rpm". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Thanks Sid,
sorry if this sound stupid, but is this checkinstall
is included in the base system or I have to install
from YaST?

You don't say which version of SuSE Linux you're running. This answer pertains to 10.0 only (as far as I know). I predict this will become a new theme for questions as SuSE Linux 10.0 comes into wider use: "Where's the RPM?" In this case, it's in the "inst-source" repository on the FTP server "ftp.gwdg.de" in "pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source".
