Yes, I remove the correction from the 'gnulink.py' file in the SCons distribution. But to be certain that no other changes were made, I will remove and reinstall SCons and try again.
There's no need to reinstall SCons if you have reverted 'gnulink.py'.

There are a few steps required. The first step in joining the relax project is to setup a Gna! account (https://gna.org/). All of relax's infrastructure, including http://nmr-relax.com, is hosted by Gna! (see https://gna.org/projects/relax/). Then you'll need to set up a Mac OS X build environment for relax (http://www.nmr-relax.com/devel_platform.html). This will require a number of tools including LaTeX and GnuPG. Unfortunately there is no web page explaining how to do this, but the MS Windows page http://www.nmr-relax.com/windows_devel.html could be used to give you an idea of what's needed. If you could, it would be ideal if the web page http://www.nmr-relax.com/windows_devel.html was copied and a new page called http://www.nmr-relax.com/osx_devel.html created by replacing the Windows info with Mac OS X info (as you set up the development environment). This would be very useful info if you pass on the task of building Mac OS X pre-compiled distribution packages to someone else. You can get a complete copy of the relax web site using CVS (see https://gna.org/cvs/?group=relax). You don't have to do this though. Once the development environment is set up, then you will be able to start building the OS X distribution package. It would be best to use the 1.2 repository line to start with because the 'sconstruct' script will most likely need to be improved. For example, are bzipped tar files '*.tar.bz2' the best format for OS X? To build the package you type: scons binary_dist The last part, which is very important, is security. You will need to GPG sign the package before sending it to me. A GPG key pair specifically for your Gna! account should be created and the public key registered at https://gna.org/my/admin/ (after you have an account). Once this is done, I'll have to work out how to modify the 'sconstruct' script so that you can use your private key to sign it rather than SCons expecting my GPG private key for relax. We can work out how to upload the file with your signature and then sign it with the official relax key later. Thank you for volunteering to build these packages, Edward _______________________________________________ relax (http://nmr-relax.com) This is the relax-devel mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, visit the list information page at https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/relax-devel
