You can't just symlink the files from a 1.5.2 build into the 2.1/2.2 directories and expect it to work. You'll need to build a version of pypgsql for the 2.1 install native. The .spec file doesn't include any mechanism for doing that, but if while you build the RPM you make sure that /usr/bin/python points at the appropriate version, I think it'll do the right thing for you. >Also, the rpm dependencies specify python2.

Is a symbolic link required there? Note that "python2" is different than "python version 2". With Red Hat 7.3, if you remove the stock python (1.5.2), it will break the GUI management tools. Therefore, I named the Python 2.x packages "python2", so that they could be installed next to the existing system. You may want to try picking up the python 2.2 RPMs from www.python.org (which are the "python2" packages) and using that instead of packages that install as "python". Those were the packages I built pyPgSQL with and should work. Sean -- I'm one of the leading experts in the field of Data Mimeing.
