How to fix "not a directory" error when installing Python 2.7?

[emetib]

issues installing 2.7

-bash: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opt-python2.7.conf/opt/python2.7/lib: Not a directory

any ideas?


How I Installed:

I am not sure what a distro is. I used the package from the page googled to set up python 2.7 on centos 5.


x86_64

yum install gcc gcc-c++.x86_64 compat-gcc-34-c++.x86_64 openssl-devel.x86_64 zlib*.x86_64

install python 2.7

1 wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/Python-2.7.tar.bz2
2 tar -xvjf Python-2.7.tar.bz2
3 cd Python*
4 ./configure --prefix=/opt/python27
5 make
6 make install
7 vi ~/.bash_profile

replace PATH=$PATH:$HOM E/bin
with PATH=$PATH:$HOM E/bin:/opt/python27/bin

reload .bash_profile

1 source ~/.bash_profile
2 echo "/opt/python27/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf
3 ldconfig

install setuptool

1 cd ~
2 wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/...6c11-py2.7.egg
3 sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg


MY ISSUE AT THIS POINT OF THE INSTALL IS ...

-bash: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opt-python2.7.conf/opt/python2.7/lib: Not a directory

How to fix?

How to find/install zlib?

If you are installing on Linux, use the package in the repository for your distro. Also, in the future include where Python came from as ActiveState has a version in addition to python.org, and there are probably others out there. We would also want to know if you are compiling or installing a pre-compiled version.

Python2.7 is installed after step 6. If you want to also install setuptools, then first try installing with yum, i.e install both python-setuptools and python-setuptools-devel packages. You can also use -list with yum to search for packages.

Thanks

I will google yum centos5 + python-setuptools and python-setuptools-devel packages

This still doesn't answer my questions.
