I've never used the MacOSX, so I can't help that much. If your version of Python is 2.4 then you will need Freevo-1.5.4 as it contains fixes for Python-2.4. The key to finding out what is going on with Freevo is to turn on debugging by setting DEBUG=1 in local_conf.py and checking the logs. If you make a directory /var/log/freevo then they will be there if not, with 1.5 they will be in /tmp/freevo. The next thing to do is to type python and then try importing the dependencies, eg: # python >>> import mmpython This will report is there are any problems. > So now I'm very confused and have no idea where I should start looking for > any wrong depencies or errors!
