possible python/linux/gnome issue!!

[bruce]

hi...

i'm running rh8.0 with gnome.. i'm not sure of the version (it's whatever rh
shipped).

i've recently updated (or tried to update) python to the latest version.
when i try to run the 'Server Settings/Services' Icon within gnome, nothing
happens...

i tried to run the 'start services' command from a command line, and got the
following...

it appears to be a conflict somewhere...

--------------------------------------------------------

import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
[root@lserver2 bin]#

---------------------------------------------------------

can someone perhaps suggest a solution, or point me to where i might find a
solution to this issue. could the python changes be causing a problem? would
upgrading gnome potentially fix the issue? can you upgrade gnome without
upgrading the rh kernel?

i'm posting here, because it might be a python related issue, in that i
might have to upgrade other apps to match the new version of python. any
ideas/thoughts/etc.. would be appreciated...

this is rather frustrating...

thanks

I don't think this has ever been legal... so that's strange.

Which version of python were you using before?
Is it still installed?
Try something like ...

ls -l /usr/bin/python*

You can try pointing /usr/bin/python (which on many systems
is just a link to the actual program) to the old version
of python.

This is really more of a red hat question than a python
question, so I also recommend asking on a red hat list.

It was, but currently is not

Red Hat uses Python for their configuration tools. It seems like those
are not compatible with the newer python version you installed.

You should keep the older Python version installed & make sure the Red Hat
tools use that instead of (I think) the newer version.
