I used the install from dabo: For Ubuntu (and probably any apt based system) there's the getdabo.sh script (tested on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn) and for some reason on my Ubuntu 8.04 I was having troubles updating to the new version. The old Dabo Version was: Version 0.8.4; Revision ~4111 and the Version I need was Dabo Version: Version 0.8.4; Revision 4623.
What worked for me was in the terminal window I removed the old Dabo that was /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages and removed the dabo folder to start with a clean slate. For Ubuntu 8.04 this is the simplest and easy way to update versions and Revision with out the problem of permissions: ------------------------------------------ Start sudo apt-get --yes install python-reportlab python-wxgtk2.8 subversion Instructions for most Linux Systems using subversion: cd $HOME mkdir src cd src svn checkout http://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo # change "/usr/lib/python" according to your system preference: cd /usr/lib/python/site-packages sudo ln -s $HOME/src/dabo/dabo dabo # If i want to do a svn up: cd $HOME/src/dabo; svn up # To get a specific revision, use: cd $HOME/src/dabo; svn up -r revisionnumber # where revisionnumber is the numer of the revision you want to use. ------------------------------------------ End Note: I am not an expert on Ubuntu or linux but if a method is simple which this is then it works for me. I hope this will help with others using Ubuntu.
