This seems to be a problem with having a wrong siteconfig.py file.
Note that:
1) there is a siteconfig.py file in the contribution, where all paths
are relative to the location of the siteconfig.py file itself
2) a fresh siteconfig.py file is created by the install.py script and
it then contains the proper location of /usr/share and /etc. (i.e. the
lfs files and some other resource files and the global pyxrc file).
Beside that the situation is more complicated, since in previous
versions of PyX we had a pyxrc variable in siteconfig, whereas we now
only keep directoryies and have a pyxrcdir variable in the
siteconfig.py file now (this is due to some
restructuring/simplification in setup.py I did for PyX 0.8 -- IIRC).
Overall there seems to be a version mixup on your maschine. Maybe the
help I've just given you allows you to just edit the siteconfig.py
file and fill out the proper paths (just edit this file by hand should
overcome the problem ... although this sounds hackish, I think its a
valid solution here). Or you try out why this version mixup happend on
your maschine.
HTH,
André
