Earlier someone noted that after updating X11, Vpython didn't work. Thank=
s
for the heads-up... it prevented me from updating X11.
Out of curiosity, I decided to do a fresh install on my daughter's brand
new MacBook. I loaded Developer Tools and X11 using the OS X disk (this
included the newest version of X11). I then followed the expert
instructions for loading Vpython to the letter.
The result: "No such file or directory" when I try to start vpython.
I should note that the Vpython install on my own MacBook Pro this summer
did not go perfectly smoothly... for some unknown (to me) reason, in bash
I get a permission denied message. I can only start Vpython in tcsh. I
checked the permissions, and all appears in order.
I am not a very sophisticated user... I don't know alot of Unix commands,
I don't see problems such as the above as an "interesting" challenge. Yet=
,
I DO know how to follow directions and I'm not freaked out by the command
line (I am of a certain age... "in the beginning there was the command
line"). So not being able to install Vpython from the current instructio=
n
set is a real problem.
