Thread: [Visualpython-users] redhat woe

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

tried it again with a fresh Red Hat 7.1, and got (if memory serves)
*different* errors, which is something.

I'm not absolutely sure what's going on, but I note that Python.h is  
in the Python "include" folder, and arrayobject.h is in the Python    
Numeric "include" folder. Evidently something is not set properly to  
have those include folders searched for references to *.h files.      

Evidently very close....

The problem at my end was that when I installed Py 2.2 -- from
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.2.1/rpms/python2-2.2.1-1.src.rpm,
rather than from the object rpm -- it was put into /usr/bin/ and
/usr/include/ rather than (as the VP scripts expect) /usr/local/bin/ and
/usr/local/include/ .

Thanks for the reports. I've updated the installation documentation on
the VPython web site to explain that the Makefile as well as the      
install script have to be changed if python2.2 isn't in               
/usr/local/bin.                                                       

A better installer would use the Python "dist-utils" mechanism,       
because it runs through Python, and Python knows where Python is.     
David Andersen wrote a dist-utils component, but I haven't yet        
incorporated it into the full installer.                              

Another alternative would be for the install script to do a "which"   
operation on python2.2 and use the results to construct the correct   
locations. Unfortunately I'm not sufficiently facile with shell       
programming to do this quickly. (But I'd accept advice or help!)

I was planning to look at this sometime in the next few weeks.  A
Python-based installer would be better, but some shell-script hackery will
get us pretty far, I think.
