Python console is not available

[Yoichi Miyahara]

Hello all,

I complied GXSM3 which is obtained from Github on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
The GXSM3 works as usual except that I cannot find Python Console from Windows list. I tried the source from SVN but it did not resolve the issue.

There may be missing libraries. Can you let me know what is missing?

This sounds like the related plugin is missing -- possible was not installed as of a compile issue, may be missing lib, etc? Have a look if you can find the libpyremote.so plugin build and the lib installed, depending on your install mode in usr/local or usr:

/usr/[local]/lib/gxsm3-plugins/common/libpyremote.so

Hi Yoichi.

Please check if you have installed all dependencies (includind build-debendencies) listed in the file https://github.com/pyzahl/Gxsm3/blob/master/debian/control_ubuntu22.04

If you have to install additional libraries, do not forget to "reconfigure" your makefile. In GXSM3

./autogen.sh

should do the job.

Thorsten :-)

Hi Percy and Thorsten,

Thanks for the quick response.

I confirmed that libpyremote.so exists in /usr/local/lib/gxsm3-plugins/common.
I also installed all the required libraries by installing gxsm3 from Thorsten's PPA repository.
In fact, the gxsm3 from the repository has Python console. I recompiled the source from Git by

make clean
./autogen.sh
make
make install

as usual. The compilied version still does not show Python Console. Please let me know what else I should check.

Thanks,
Yoichi

Try starting gxsm3 with debug option -P 10 (may use -D 10 -P10 for even more details) as shown below and see if you see messages from "pyremote" listed -- see a potential missing lib error at load time:
