[Visualpython-users] Still no progress with the Beta version of visual python
|

At Bruce's suggestion, I downloaded visual-4.beta15
and tried installing it on my AMD 64-bit machine
running RedHat Enterprise 4. It uses numpy and
that is good. But it now has a very major dependency
on GTK and its libraries. I spent about 4 hours today
compiling an ever increasing number of dependent
libraries to try to get things going. Just for grins,
take a look at what libraries are needed:
4 atk-1.19.3/
4 gtk+-2.10.13/
4 libsigc++-1.2.7/
4 cairo-1.4.8/
4 gtkglext-1.2.0/
4 libsigc++-2.0.17/
4 cairomm-1.2.4/
4 gtkglextmm-1.2.0/
4 gtkmm-2.10.10/
4 numpy-1.0.3/
4 glib-2.12.9/
4 gtkmm-2.2.12/
4 pango-1.17.3/
4 visual-4.beta15/
4 glibmm-2.12.10/
4 libglademm-2.4.2/
4 Python-2.5.1/
Many of these are tricky to install because they are either
not very friendly to 64-bit or to installs in non-standard
locations. After a fair bit of hacking, I managed to get
all of these installed (watch out for gtkglextmm -- it has some
sort of wild problem attempting to link against libGL -- libtool
for it had to be seriously hacked).
After everything was installed, visual-4.beta15 finally stopped
complaining about dependent libraries and compiled. But
it looks like it has a problem:

error that you cannot debug, please send a message to

I looked at the build log and here is what it says:

I will take a look see and see if this is something that can be fixed.
Has anyone else
managed to get the beta to compile from ground zero on 64-bit linux? So
far,
I think I have spent about 1.5 days just on the installation. I hope
this is not typical.
