Re: [Visualpython-users] Building vpython 5.4 in Ubuntu 10.10

You need to execute "sudo make install" to move the various components
into the right places. For cleanliness, it would be a good idea first
to remove the Visual stuff from site-packages.
Also, because site-packages is no longer (alas) on the Ubuntu Python
module search path, you need to follow these instructions in
INSTALL.txt:
You will also need to copy vpython-core2/src/gtk2/site-packages.pth to
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages to put /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
on the Python search path.
You will have to adjust the contents of site-packages.pth text file if
you are installing to /usr/lib rather than /usr/local.
Hope this helps!
