Hello, I need to install a program (MACS: http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/) for which I need to have Python2.6 installed.
I do have two other Pythons installed but not this version. 1) So I tried apt-get install... python2.6 is not there as a package (I am running Linux Mint 15). 2) Okay, I added some repos to the /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free I ran apt-get update... python2.6 not there 3) I downloaded python2.6 as a source tar and compiled it and installed with make altinstall... Python2.6 is installed. When I enter "python" in the command line and hit Tab, I can see there now all three versions of python. Still I get the same error: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of macs: macs depends on python2.6; however: Package python2.6 is not installed. I will be grateful for your suggestions, Jan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
