Python optional location in centos 5 for compiling from source

[Florent THOMAS <ma...@tdeo.fr>]

Hy all of you,

I'm running under centos 5.6 and I would like to use submin that 
requires python2.5 instead of the 2.4 availbale in the yum.
So I successfully installed the python 2.5 in the /opt directory.
Unfortunately, all the subversion python files given by the official 
pacckages are located in the 2.4 python path so taht the /opt/python2.5 
instructions aren't able to manage with the libraries.
Naturally I suppose that I muste compile from source the svn in against 
the python2.5 path.
I you think I'm not wrong, could you help me on the configure process?

Regards from france,

Florent THOMAS

Is there any reason you can't simply jump to CentOS 6, or Scientific
Linux or RHEL 6? This is precisely the kind of mix and match
backporting that can suck your workweek out thorugh your ears.
