[Yum] can't install yum

Fri Nov 4 21:29:52 UTC 2005

My dist is RHEL 4

Downloaded yum-2.4.0.tar.gz
<http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.4/yum-2.4.0.tar.gz> 
Unpacked and installed with "make install"
When I type "yum" I receive the following message:

---------------------------------------------------------
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.3.4 (#1, Feb  2 2005, 11:44:49) 
[GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this
message to <yum at lists.linux.duke.edu>.
---------------------------------------------------------

Going to the python console, if I type "import yum" I get the following:

---------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named yum
---------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
