Hi, everybody, and Nate :) You helped me to configure an SSL connection to a DB on a remote host. It worked fine, but I have to do it again, on a RHEL6 (the one before was RHEL 5). I am using psycopg2-2.0.13 and followed all the steps given by Nate, yet it throws an error here: I run : % PYTHONPATH=/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/scripts/scramble/lib python -v setup.py egg_info --tag-build=_8.4.2_static bdist_egg and get : +++++++++++++++++++++ ... running egg_info writing psycopg2.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing top-level names to psycopg2.egg-info/top_level.txt writing dependency_links to psycopg2.egg-info/dependency_links.txt # /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py import setuptools.command.build_py # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.pyc # /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build_py.pyc matches /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build_py.py import distutils.command.build_py # precompiled from /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build_py.pyc # /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build.pyc matches /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build.py import distutils.command.build # precompiled from /usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/command/build.pyc # /usr/lib64/python2.6/encodings/string_escape.pyc matches /usr/lib64/python2.6/encodings/string_escape.py import encodings.string_escape # precompiled from /usr/lib64/python2.6/encodings/string_escape.pyc error: No such file or directory # clear __builtin__._ # clear sys.path +++++++++++++++++++++ Which is the missing file/dir ?
