Hi Drew, You can try the distutils based building system:
cd pythonOCC/src python setup.py build install You first have to hack the environment.py script: the build system has to know the location of your OpenCascade installation. The scons build script is quite experimental. As you say, the ideal would be to have something completely automated that does not need any manual hack. Still on the 'TODO' list, but I'm not a Linux guru... Cheers, Thomas >Hi Arthur! > >Thanks a lot for your offer to help!
