installing python

[Garrett85]

I'M trying to install python on Fedora 13, 32 bit OS, 64 bit computer.

Here are the instructions.
On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin:
./congigure
make
make test
sudo make install

I cd'd into the directory and typed ./configure

Here are the errors I'M getting

$ cd /home/garrett/Desktop/Python-3.2/./configure
bash: cd: /home/garrett/Desktop/Python-3.2/./configure: Not a directory
[garrett@FedoraDesktop ~]$ cd /home/garrett/Desktop/Python-3.2

you don't have gcc installed

yum install gcc then install python

or just

yum install python

Thanks. The only problem is my Fedora desktop can not connect to the internet at the moment. So I have to download file onto my laptop and transfer them to the desktop to be installed.

ok. you can still run

ldd /path/to/Python-3.2

and you'll get a list of all required files to execute python
