I wonder why that changed. Does your Python come with dynamic libraries? Did 7.1 choose those instead? AFAIK we didn't intentionally make any change to prefer static libraries -- I think that would be a bad decision. Michael> Isn't this problem showing up for anyone else? It seems to me that Michael> it will bite anybody who's using a binary release of these versions. Jan reports that 7.2 builds ok on RHEL 5 against the system python. At least those of us at Red Hat haven't hit this problem since we use the system python, not the one you are using. Tom
