system runing RedHat5.2

Did you by any chance download the iso to a MSDOS machine?  There is a
known problem with 2 files in the distribution, GTK.py and gtk.py,
which MSDOS is not able to differentiate between, so one gets written
over.  Reopen this bug if this is not the problem, otherwise refer to
bug #5711 for further details.
