Ice + RHEL5 + Python2.5

Is there an easy, out-of-the-box way to get Ice on Redhat Enterprise 5 for python 2.5 or do I have to build it myself? The supplied RHEL5 rpm from this site seems to only include binaries for python2.4 but we'd like to standardize on python 2.5.

    Hi Tim,

    I'm afraid you'll need to build Ice for Python from source.

    If you're using Ice 3.2, I suggest building both Ice for C++ and Ice for Python from source. For example, build Ice for C++ and install it into ~/Ice-3.2.1. To build Ice for Python, you'll need to set ICE_HOME=~/Ice-3.2.1. You'll also need to set PYTHON_HOME=<python2.5 install dir> if you built Python from source, or you can set PYTHON_VERSION if your Python 2.5 installation resides in the standard location alongside the default version. Have a look at IcePy-3.2.1/config/Make.rules for more information.

    If you're using Ice 3.3b, you can extract the Ice source distribution and build the C++ and Python components.

    In either case, there is no need to keep the Ice for C++ build after you've installed your Python 2.5 version of Ice for Python.

    Hope that helps,
    Mark
