I need the Linux version to connect to Oracle via cx_Oracle. I have FreeBSD 7.2 installed with compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf, linux_base-f8 installed via ports and need to install a Linux version of Python 2.5. I have tried to install a compiled version from a fedora10 rpm with the command: rpm -i --ignoreos --root /compat/linux <rpmfile> without success. I also tried to make python 2.5.4 on ubuntu jaunty, then copy the working folder to FreeBSD and install from there. The other option I have heard of is to compile python for the Linux ABI in FreeBSD, but I don't know if there is a specific port I need additionally to be able to do that. Thanks for the help! Aus
