I'm not the world's most brilliant Linux guru, but I have SuSE and I installed python like thus:
yast -i python python-devel Yet, it appears to have installed python to /usr/bin and /usr/lib. As a result, when I try to use any of the turbogears installers, I get an error (pasted at the end of this post) as it tries to install to the site-packages directory under /usr/local/lib. With the ez_setup.py, it's easier to get this to work by using the -d parameter to redirect it. I don't seem to have any such easy mechanism to remedy this using your new script installer. At any rate, just some rambling, -Rez # python tgsetup.py TurboGears Installer Beginning setuptools/EasyInstall installation and TurboGearsdownload Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c2-py2.4.egg error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/test-easy-install-6962.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). Kevin Dangoor wrote: > I can't believe this didn't occur to me before.
