I was just trying to build a Python package (mxDateTime from http://downloads.egenix.com/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.6.tar.gz); not something I often do. While I've been able to compile various "C" packages with "configure;make install", the "python setup.py install" recipe failed, first trying to run /scratchbox/compilers/host-gcc/bin/gcc, which didn't exist, and then trying to install in /scratchbox/tools/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mx instead of /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ If I try "python2.4 setup.py install", it fails with various errors such as sem_post: Function not implemented I installed scratchbox with the maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh script a few weeks ago, which got me AFAIK 2008SE_2.2007.52.0. That has Python 2.3 and Python 2.4 I'm a bit confused as to which gets used; if I just type "python", I get 2.3.4, although /usr/bin/python is a link to python2.4. If I type python2.4, I get 2.4.2 My N810 now has OS2008 51-3, with Python 2.5.1. I'd kind of assumed that OS2008 scratchbox would have the same version as the tablet... and that "setup.py install" would work. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time) Network Security Manager
