Hi, first sorry if my mail appears twice, this is my second sending, but I'm not sure if messages are moderated?
Anyway, I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm happy that my paths are set correctly, if I type: /usr/bin/env mayapy I get a mayapy session, and also I can import pymel. As in the first post, what isn't working is just the ipymel script. I tried changing the first line of ipymel to: #!$MAYA_LOCATION/bin/mayapy but nothing changed. I did notice that I only had one (long) line in that file, I'm not sure that is how it should be? Anyway, I'd love to get this going. Thanks in advance for any help. Dave.
