I have been using python 2.5 on my freebsd machine for a while and I decided to upgrade to 2.6. I downloaded the .tgz and installed it fine. When I went to run Python, I got a dependency error, I needed libutils.so.8, ok fine. But I could not install it with 'pkg_add -r libutils.so.8' and I could not find the file at http://www.freebsd.org/ports. I then tried this procedure http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1390
but once I got through with it, python would not work. When I typed 'python' to run the interpreter, it just said command not found. Is there an easy way to do this? I'd like to just wipe python out and start fresh with 2.6.
