Hi Drew, No problem, sort out the PhD stuff and come back when you have some free time. The PhD density around here seems pretty high! I finished mine a couple of years ago (very much fun, but I was also very happy to finish it - but enjoy the road).
Sounds like OCC itself is probably there, which is good. I've read a couple of reports of SCons not being too happy under Debian, but nothing very reliable. I've tried the SCons install (Fedora 10, i386) and it worked for me. Try Yorik's instructions (sounds like we need to update the wiki). Oh yes - what version of OCC do you have? Did you manually build yourself or did you apt-get (I think that will find v6.2.?, you need v6.3)? A BTW - you're not the only python newbie - I've been meaning to give it a try for ages - this library was the final push :-) So far I've written probably <100 lines Andrew Wagner wrote: > Hi Arthur! > > Thanks a lot for your offer to help!
