This is the output when I write whereis python2.7

python2.7: /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /opt/python2.7.1/bin/python2.7

Version of python under /usr/local/ is python2.7.2 and version of python under /opt/python/2.7.1 is python2.7.1 as you see.

When I write python it runs python2.7.1 because I changed the bash_profile. But When I write python2.7 it runs python2.7.2.

I would like totally remove the python2.7.2 which is under the /usr/local/ and use the binary under /opt/python2.7.1.

How can I solve this problem?

Note: It is a CentOS5 server and python2.4 is already installed as you consider.

    your PATH is mixed up, do the following:

    export PATH=/opt/python2.7.1/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python2.7.1/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
