#187 Installing and running wxGlade fails with folder location issues

[Oswald]

make install fails with error message "gzip: /usr/local/share/man/man1/wxglade.1: No such file or directory".

Running wxglade after that fails with error message "ERROR: wxglade.py not found!".

wxglade.py can be found in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxGlade-0.7.2-py2.7.egg/wxglade/wxglade.py. Running python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxGlade-0.7.2-py2.7.egg/wxglade/wxglade.py prints error messages:

ERROR:root:Unknown path structure /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxGlade-0.7.2-py2.7.egg/wxglade
ERROR:root:Share directory not found
ERROR:root:Credits file "CREDITS.txt" not found!
ERROR:root:License file "LICENSE.txt" not found!

Also, a dialgo box is telling me that wxglade "failed to load image from file wxglade/icons/application.xpm". The following details are mentioned in the dialog box:

07:08:34: can't open file 'wxglade/icons/icon.xpm' (error 2: No such file or directory)
07:08:34: Failed to load image from file "wxglade/icons/icon.xpm".

Hi Oswald,

I'll check the details of this issue.

You can use an installation below /opt/wxglade like described in the wxGlade menual "Chapter 2. Installation" at http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/manual/ch02s02.html.

Regards,
Carsten

I'm not sure about this.
As of now, I don't plan for installers. To use wxGlade, you need a Python installation anyway and many people have multiple installations.
