The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 15:45:23) [GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq bash-3.2# python -V Python 2.3.5 --> I tried to install the python through source but of no use , whatever the python version may be , it is showing same error , I didn't get any python rpms form the site http://python.org/... even I tried to use rpmbuild using python tar files , but it is giving error , [shashi@shashi SPECS]$ sudo rpmbuild -bb python-2.3.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59931 + umask 022 + cd /home/shashi/redhat/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY + cd /home/shashi/redhat/BUILD + rm -rf Python-2.3.5 + /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /home/shashi/redhat/SOURCES/Python-2.3.5.tgz + tar -xvvf - -rw-rw-r-- shashi/shashi 36259840 2009-02-27 16:40 Python-2.3.5.tar + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd Python-2.3.5 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59931: line 33: cd: Python-2.3.5: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59931 (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59931 (%prep) [shashi@shashi SPECS]$ cp ~/Desktop/Python-2.
