Are you using the tgz (Quick Install) version?

Hmm. I wonder if you have different copies of freevo lying around. If you
did a system install of the *tgz ('python setup.py'), then it should
appear under /usr/bin/freevo, and /usr/lib/python*/.... This version does
not depend on the runtime, but requires you to install the other
dependencies into the system (under /usr/lib/python*/...) yourself.

If you have another copy of freevo (via the Quick Install method, usually
located in /usr/local/freevo), then it's the standalone version which
requires the runtime. the runtime should be located in a subdirectory
under /usr/local/freevo.

Check which copy of freevo you're running... 'which freevo' should
tell you if you've edited your $PATH variable.

It's best to stick with the latest runtime version.

You should be using runtime 0.31, with mmpython 0.4 (install this manually
into the runtime hierarchy replacing existing mmpython) and the 1.5pre1
release.

Also, check your local_conf.py. There's quite a few changes in 1.5 so it's
usually safer to make a backup of that file, copy the example file to
/etc/freevo/local_conf.py and modify it by hand.
