[Buildbot-devel] buildmaster on 64bit host

[Tim Flink]

Thank you for the information and the SRPMs. I like the idea of managing 
things with RPM more than tweaking --prefix and PYTHONPATH.

As it was brought up on twisted-python, I wanted to apologize for 
posting the same thread on separate, related mailing lists. I am pretty 
new to using lists like this and I let the pressure to finish an install 
get the better of me.
