[Visualpython-users] vpython update problems on linux

[francois s. <fra...@fr...>]

Hello all,

I had the linux version (http://vpython.org/linux_download.html)  It=20
worked nicely since 2 weeks ago on my suse 9.0.

Then I saw  that the updated files were available there  :-) :
http://vpython.org/all_download.html :

Doc-2004-07-22.zip <http://vpython.org/download/Doc-2004-07-22.zip>=20
Documentation for Visual
Demos-2004-07-22.zip <http://vpython.org/download/Demos-2004-07-22.zip>=20
VPython demo programs
Visual-2004-07-22.zip=20
<http://vpython.org/download/Visual-2004-07-22.zip> Visual module (*.py=20
files needed by VPython)

I unziped them and crushed the old ones (without doing a full install=20
again):

Now, when I run vpython I have the following problems:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/visual/demos/gyro2.py", line 1,=20

Do you know what I did wrong again this time ....   :-(

I tried the new full install but when I do "make" I have this:

SUSE 9.0 - Uh, oh.  (see below)

That doesn't work for the Visual-2004-07-22.zip package, and is the
source of the ImportError below.  Part of VPython is written in C++, and
part of it in Python.  The two must come from the same release of
VPython, ie, you must perform a full install.

You have version mismatch between the old cvisualmodule.so and the new
visual/*.py files.

Suse 9.0 is known to have shipped with a broken compiler.  You must
install GCC and Boost from source to correct the problems with your
broken compiler. 
http://www.vpython.org/Building%20VPython%20on%20SuSE.html

Also, since SUSE installs GNOME into /opt/gnome, you will need to set
the CPPFLAGS environment variable to include "-I/opt/gnome/include" when
running Visual's configure script.
