[phm]

Hi,

CentOS 7 is coming with python 2.7. How to install ICE 3.5 which binding to python 2.6 ? Is some body have compiling ICE against python 2.7? Or installed python 2.7 and 2.6 on CentOS?

Hi

I'm afraid running OMERO on CentOS7 isn't currently supported for precisely the reasons you mention- Zeroc haven't yet released RPMs for this distribution, though presumably they will at some point. You could try building Ice yourself from source but this isn't something we've tried on CentOS 7, nor have we looked at installing Python 2.6 on CentOS 7.

If you manage to get it working let us know!

Hi manics,

I tried to install python 2.6 beside to python 2.7, compile python 2.6 with make alterninstall. In this way you have two versions of pyhton, python 2.7 in system and python 2.6 in /usr/local/bin. Unfortunately because yum in binding to pyhton 2.7 you can't install ice against python 2.6. So I installed CentOS 6.5 on my OMERO server, I will wait for rpm ICE for python 2.7 to upgrade to CentOS 7.
