I finished test of VPython on Fink 0.5.1.cvs and XDarwin 4.2. I had no problems on bounce2.py, orbit.py. I suspect your Python installation isn't properly done. My best guess is that you might have obscure compatibility issues on Apple's X11 that you don't have on XDarwin.
If you binary install your Python, you may need to be rebuilt it. You can do it by:
fink rebuild python22-shlibs python22

Hi.
I'm using Mac OS 10.2.3, Apple's implementation of X11 <http://www.apple.com/x11/> based on XFree 4.2.1, Apple's X11 SDK, Fink 0.5.1, and Visual-2002-07-22 from the VPython web site <http://www.vpython.org>. I've installed the system-xfree86 package and the fink Python (Python 2.2 specifically) package. Everything installed properly with no errors. I forgot to become root to run the VPython install script, but I ran it again as root. Actually, I ran it again with "sudo" which worked under OS 10.1.5 and Fink 0.4.1.
Now, when I try to run any VPython program from IDLE, here's what I get:
-----begin error message
Visual-2002-07-22
Traceback (innermost last)
File "/sw/share/python-visual/Programs/Demos/orbit.py", line 1, in ?
from visual import *
ImportError: Failure linking new module
Program disconnected.
-----end error message
This specific example was for orbit.py, but I get the same error with any program, and I get the same error whether I run the program from the ~/VPython/Programs/Demos folder or from the duplicate folder under /sw.
The only thing out of the ordinary I've noticed is that my /sw tree is owned by my admin username and not root. I understood this to be a bug in the Fink 0.5.1 installer and I was under the impression that a new installer would be issued or that simply using chown to make root on /sw would be okay.
Any suggestions?
Joe
