hello

you need to use yum to install the python libraries  
please do a rpm -qa | grep python if you are using red hat

thanks

Daley

Hi Daley,

> rpm -qa | grep python

just gives the installed packages with python in the name. Any idea which is missing to fix this error? python2 yum module is installed.

Many thanks
