install package to /opt

arch_enemy · 2010-10-06 08:44:58

hello!

I've compiled python2.7 from ABS, and want to install it into /opt directory (without touching system python(version 2.6.5)).

thanks

Change the configure line...

./configure --prefix=/usr ...

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: python2 and python are in conflict (python<3). Remove python? [y/N]

any suggestions?

Remove the conflicts line...

And rename the package to python27. It will make your life easier when the python rebuild moves from [testing].

sorry for my dummy question, but where are this "conflict" lines?

Spider.007 · 2010-10-06 09:37:20

conflicts=('python<3')

in your PKGBUILD

thanks for help guys!

Sidenote: No need to install it to opt when you use altinstall. It won't conflict with 2.6
