If you are having problems, please see the RPM Frequently Asked Questions section at the end of this document for possible solutions.

RPMs For Other Platforms

For platforms in which binaries aren't available here, you can easily build binary RPMs directly from the Python SRPM. Simply download one of the .src.rpmfiles below, and run "rpmbuild --rebuild python2-2.2.3-1.src.rpm". Note toward the end of the output, the lines starting with "Wrote:" indicate where the binary RPMs were written.

The benefit of building binary RPMs in this way is that they are built using exactly the set of libraries and versions of packages that you have installed on your system. Because the SRPMs encompass all the steps required to build binary RPMs, it is a "fire and forget" process -- the simplest source build ever.

RPM Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q) Why I try to run "rpmbuild -ta Python-2.2.3.tgz", I get an error about unpackaged files.
  • A) Yes, there's a problem with the .spec file in the base tar file. Use the SRPM that is on this page.
  • Q) When running "rpm -ba", "rpm -ta" or "rpm --rebuild" I get the error "-ba: unknown option" or "--rebuild: unknown option" or "-ta: unknown option".
  • A) With the Red Hat 8.0 release, the building options were removed from the "rpm" command. Use the "rpmbuild" command instead ("rpmbuild --rebuild python2-2.2.3-1.src.rpm").
  • Q) I'm getting the "-ba: unknown option" when trying to build RPMs using distutils "python setup.py bdist_rpm".
  • A) As noted above, Red Hat broke the "build" functionality out of the base "rpm" command with the 8.0 release. Unfortunately, they didn't patch their python RPM to account for this, and they don't appear to be planning to release any errata to fix this. If you upgrade to the 2.2.2-7 or newer RPMs on this page, distutils should work. Note that this seems to be fixed in the Red Hat 9 release (which uses Python 2.2.2 and has a patched distutils).
  • Q) When trying to build RPMs, I get "rpmbuild: command not found".
  • A) The "rpmbuild" command is part of a separate RPM "rpm-build". You will need to install this package before you can build RPMs.
