This means your python installation is broken in some way (probably bad
shared library path). I'm a little reluctant to suggest too much here -
I'm assuming you're using a RedHat system, and they require a specific
version of python installed and working for their system management tools,
and inadvertently breaking that python install will render your machine
largely unmanageable.

If you have a support contract with RedHat, asking them to help you
install Python 2.3 might be worthwhile. Failing that, maybe someone on
the list has been through this before (I haven't done it for years)?
