Re: [PHOEBE-discuss] Phoebe Legacy related query

[I a. U <ala...@gm...>]

Hello Sir,
                 Thanks for your reply to my last query. As you provided
the link for PHOEBE1 in your previous mail, I downloaded and tried to
install it. So, I used *./configure* then *make* and finally *make install *for
phoebe-lib, phoebe-gui, phoebe-plugins and phoebe-scripter, all worked
fine. After that I ran *python setup build* and *python setup build
*in phoebe-py.
But when I tried test.py I got following error:

* File "test.py", line 1, in <module>*
* import phoebeBackend as phoebe*
*ImportError: libphoebe-svn.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory*
                 Is it due to some problem in my installation process. As I
type phoebe-scripter on terminal it opens
*PHOEBE-lib warning: importing legacy configuration file (pre-0.30).*
*This is PHOEBE svn scripter.*
*Loading scripter plugins:*
*PHOEBE scripter: * polyfit plugin not found in
/usr/local/lib/phoebe/plugins.*

*>*
                but when I type phoebe-gui it gives
*phoebe-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libphoebe-svn.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory*
               Is there any way to get rid of this problem ?

Thanks,
 Alax
