Ah, no. You also need some other files that Pootle and translate-tools depend on. The information regarding which files, and where to get them, is located in the 'README' file, which you will find in the expanded Pootle directory (e.g ~/Pootle-0.10/Pootle/README). The 'README' file will also help your installation process :) A quick look at it's dependencies will show: - kid (http://kid.lesscode.org/ , kid also needs setuptools, but should automagically download it for you) - elementtree (http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree) - python >= 2.3 (http://www.python.org) > > (ii)I've selected the *.bz2 versions of pootle and translate-tools.

Some files are tar'd and bzip'd for a nice compression (though usually labeled .tbz or such), you can just use 'tar xjf' instead to uncompress a bzip file. Or to check exactly what the file is before you uncompress it, a simple 'file <file>' will do. > > (iii)Upon doing the install, I logged in as root, su - , and then > change directories to the right place and then executed the install python script: > > ./setup.py install > > I got the following message: > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "./setup.py", line 3, in ? > from distutils.core import setup, Extension, Distribution, Command > ImportError: No module named distutils.core Distutils came packaged with python 2.4 for me (Ubuntu 6.10), though a quick google shows having/installing distutils can be a bit of an issue on SuSE boxes. I suggest; checking your python PATH variables, making sure distutils (and it's core.py) is installed, or perhaps try using the SuSE package manager to install (or re-install) distutils. > > I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
