[Tutor] BeOpen-Python-2.0-1.src.rpm

[Michael Baker]

thanks to all for the recent help with PYTHONPATH. on to the next inquiry...

this might be more of a linux question, but here it is. I'm running LinuxPPC 
on a Powermac. the most recent python rpm I can find is v 1.52. I tried to 
compile the source rpm for v 2.0 but an error occurred after about 20 seconds 
of crunching:

+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd Python-2.0
++ /usr/bin/id -u
+ '[' 0 = 0 ']'
+ /bin/chown -Rhf root .
++ /usr/bin/id -u
+ '[' 0 = 0 ']'
+ /bin/chgrp -Rhf root .
+ /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,g-w,o-w .
+ echo 'Patch #0 (BeOpen-Python-2.0-Setup.patch):'
Patch #0 (BeOpen-Python-2.0-Setup.patch):
+ patch -p0 -s
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.17620: patch: command not found
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.17620 (%prep)

if this question is more appropriate for a different list please advise.
:)

thanks
