I believe that I must have done something wrong when I uploaded the distribution for use with easy_install to the Python Package Index. So, I've uploaded a new egg. After doing so, I was able to use easy_install to install generateDS (whereas before I got the same error as you). Could you let me know whether it works for you now? And, thanks for letting me know about this problem. If you are interested in reading my mumblings while I was struggling with this, read below. Otherwise, ignore it. - Dave =============================================================== [Dave mutters and mumbles while stumbling around and trying to figure out what's wrong.] This seems like a problem that I solved once before, but must have creeped back in. [Nope. I was wrong about that.] It looks like you are on MS Windows. I used to use symbolic links in the directory where I work on generateDS.py. Symbolic links do not exist on MS Windows. So, I switched to using hard links, which I thought had solved this (similar ?) problem. [Still on the wrong track.] I still have access to a machine on which I can boot MS Windows. So, I'll try to reproduce this problem on that machine. Wait a minute. I just tried using easy_install myself, and I get that same error. I re-ran easy_install with the --build-directory command line option. That kept the unrolled download. And, yes, that file (generateDS-2.1a/libgenerateDS/gui/generateds_gui.py) is missing. So, for sure, there is something I need to fix in that. [Starting to "get a clue".] How did you create G:\Work\downloads\generateDS-2.1a and the stuff under it? Did you unroll the tar file (generateDS-2.1a.tar.gz)? Or, did you use easy_install? If you used easy_install, then try downloading generateDS-2.1a.tar.gz and unrolling it. [Oops. Wandering off into the ditch again. Must focus.] Wait another minute. It's the egg or some easy_install related thing. I guess I need to learn more about setuptools and easy_install. OK. I learned a little bit more. And, I've uploaded a new egg (for use with easy_install) to the Python Package Index using the correct command, this time, I think. When I tried using easy_install to install it, this time it worked. [Good doggie. You derserve a treat, maybe.] So, could you try easy_install again and let me know whether it works this time. Thanks for letting me know about this problem. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
