1- I'm using Red HAt Linux 6.2 How do I know if it's large-file-capable ?
I think that large files are only available with Linux 2.4.x kernels, which I think rules out RH6.2 unless you've done something special. The sure-fire test, of course, is to create a > 2Gb file and try to see its size. If you don't get an accurate reading, your system doesn't do +2Gb files.
2- How do I re-compile python as described in 8.1.1, there's any step-by-step guide
The Python docs say that there are complete compiling instructions in the README file in the source distribution. My guess is that it goes something like: ./configure && make && make install --jcc (make install)
