If I were running Fedora 13, I think I could get away with symlinks, but not for Fedora 14. I'm looking into rpm --relocate, but haven't worked through all the dependencies that introduces.</P> Mon, 16 May 2011 22:23:15 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/installing-python2-6-for-universal-forwarder/m-p/102872#M21593 amh 2011-05-16T22:23:15Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/installing-python2-6-for-universal-forwarder/m-p/102873#M21594 <P>If you need Python, you should use the regular Splunk package rather than the universal forwarder.</P> Tue, 17 May 2011 14:26:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/installing-python2-6-for-universal-forwarder/m-p/102873#M21594 araitz 2011-05-17T14:26:56Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/installing-python2-6-for-universal-forwarder/m-p/102874#M21595 <P>Or alternatively, install python to the standard system/OS location (if it isn't already), put it in the path, and reference that from within the UF.</P> Tue, 17 May 2011 15:04:27 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/installing-python2-6-for-universal-forwarder/m-p/102874#M21595 gkanapathy 2011-05-17T15:04:27Z
