Comment by [email protected]:
I am a unix neophyte, running Mac OSX 10.6.4 and have just run
easy_install. The pybot commands from the Quick Start all fail with the
same LookupError: unknown encoding: en_US
(a traceback is included below). Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Frank
DETAILS:
Installation seems to have succeeded:
mimac:~ frank$ pybot --version Robot Framework 2.5.1 (Python 2.6.1 on
darwin)
I uaed easy_install - first I just cut&paste text from these instructions
into the terminal window and thus ran as myself - but (of course) nothing
got installed into the /usr/local/bin. I ran it again with sudo and output
looked OK. (NOTE - Suggest you modify instructions to "easy as running
command SUDO easy_install robotframework" for dummies like me!)

When I run pybot commands (but not pybot --version) from QUICK START I get
tracebacks like this:
