This works: untarred the stuff in ~/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
and happily running scipy.test(9) :-)

I will try to follow Pearu's direction's tonight. BTW: RH72's gcc
is still good old lousy gcc-2.9.66 isn't it?
Can you give me the compiler switches for RH72 Python's package?

I will also cleanup my Python installation, discovered libpython22.a
alongside a libpython22.so :-(
