[Pythoncard-users] PythonCard on Intel-Mac startup problem

[Uwe H. <uwe...@tg...>]

Sir,

I went carefully through the installation instruction on
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/macosx_tiger_installation.html

Then, after

which pythonw
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pythonw

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/ 
site-packages/PythonCard/samples/minimal
pythonw minimal.py

I get the following dump:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "minimal.py", line 8, in ?
     from PythonCard import model
   File "/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PythonCard/model.py", line  
21, in ?
   File "//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-mac-unicode/wx/__init__.py", line 42,  
in ?
     from wx._core import *
   File "//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-mac-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 4, in ?
     import _core_
ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/

I understand that PythonCard is well in the path:

pythonw
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/ 
site-packages/PythonCard/samples/minimal', '/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python24.zip', '/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4', '/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/plat-darwin',  
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/plat- 
mac', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload',  
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- 
packages/wx-2.6-mac-unicode']
 >>>

However, libTIFF.dylib is expected at the wrong place and also the  
traceback line 21 points to a file in /sw... which does not exist. I  
guess there is a mixup with pathes. Can you help ?

Thanks,
  Falco
