[imps] build.py --local [was: local install on Centos 6, BUILD SUCCESSFUL, but not quite ...]

[Rancid Iodine]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for this and the other pointer with the change you recently made.

Even so, the java (post- "BUILD SUCCESSFUL") compilation part of the build
procedure would still have the problem getting through our firewall/proxy
which I mentioned before, would it not?

As coincidence would have it, I'm trying to get the holes in the firewall
approved right now.

If I get a good result in the end building on Centos 6.2, I'll let you know
and you can add it to the list of acceptable platforms.

Cheers,

Andrei
