Dear Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

I went to the folder of python after "tar -zxvf Python-2.7.2.tgz" and do
the following operations:
./configure --prefix="~/PythonInstall"
make
make install
where "~" represent the path in my computer and it is long in the report;
so, I replaced it by ~.

Then, I put "~/PythonInstall"bin
and "~/PythonInstall/lib/python2.7/"site-packages into PATH and PYTHONPATH.

Anything wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Qian Liu
