Hello all, If this question is not for this list, please advise. Both my RHEL55 and SL55 are based on python 2.4.3 - how I can add python 2.6 support for Galaxy without screwing up OS? I had both 2.4 and 2.6 installed, by python -V returns only 2.4.3. When I uninstalled 2.4.3, SL55 self-destructed, the same will happen with RHEL55. I was advised that 2.6 should not ever be made seen (like manipulating $PATH) by the system that depends on 2.4 - so how I add 2.6 if it is needed for full functionality?

Hi Vladimir, You could install 'python26' from EPEL[1], presumably this does not break /usr/bin/python since it installs the new version as /usr/bin/python2.6. Then as the user which runs Galaxy, do something like this: $ mkdir $HOME/bin $ ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 $HOME/bin/python $ export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH $ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bash_profile --nate [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
