<li><strong>How do I install the RPMs on a Redhat linux system?</strong>
<P>The problem is that the default version of python for Redhat 7.x is
1.5.x, and rdiff-backup requires python >= 2.2. Redhat/rawhide
provides python 2.2 RPMs, but they are packaged under the "python2"
name.
<P>So, if you are running Redhat 7.x:
<ol>
<li>Make sure the python2 >= 2.2 package is installed,
leaving python 1.5 the way it is
<li>Install the rdiff-backup RPM, using --nodeps if it only complains
about python 2.2 missing.
<li>Edit the first line of /usr/bin/rdiff-backup so it says<pre>
#!/usr/bin/env python2
</pre>
so "python2" gets run instead of "python".
</ol>
<P>You can also upgrade using a non-Redhat python 2.2 RPM and avoid
the above steps (this is what I did). Because of all the dependencies
it is usually easier to use source RPMs for this.
