Hi again, all. Just thought I post a final followup to this. It's just a plucker problem at this point, so I'm going to start hammering the plucker list about it. But I'll give some details what I've done so far in case it'll help anybody else out there.
I managed to d/l & extract the files from the plucker 1.4 POSIX
package (thanks to Anthony for pointing me to the right package):
$ wget http://downloads.plkr.org/1.4/plucker-1.4-1.i386.rpm
$ rpm2cpio plucker-1.4-1.i386.rpm | cpio -dim
I'll delete what I don't need later. Now the fun begins! Haven't quite
got it working yet, but changing these lines in the
{mypath}/bin/plucker-setup script ({mypath} being ~/pkg):
CONFIGDIR=os.path.join("/usr/share/plucker","config")
PALMDIR=os.path.join("/usr/share/plucker", "palm")
to
CONFIGDIR=os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"],"pkg/share/plucker/config")
PALMDIR=os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"],"pkg/share/plucker/palm")
allowed the setup script to at least happily make & populate a
~/.plucker directory. I know I could have just assigned my entire
local path, but I like to keep an eye towards at least _some_
portability. Then setting & exporting the PYTHONHOME variable allowed
plucker-build (a symlink to Spider.py):
ln - s {mypath}/lib/python/site-packages/PyPlucker/Spider.py \
{mypath}/bin/plucker-build
(thanks Akkana for that) to pick up the PyPlucker modules. After that
I've run into other python errors (can't find modules os, sys), so
it'll require further study (remember - *NO* python experience, but
hey, it's fun! :?>).
So, thanks all for you're help so far. Now, off to the plucker list!!
