My guess is other people will find this thread just as I did - so I will post what I did to get around not being able to get ez_setup to work for version 0.8.9. I am a novice at this so I make no promises that it will work for you - but it worked for me.
I was able to perform an offline install using the eggs I found here http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/browser/site_resources/oldeggs In my case I copied the following files to /usr/src: cElementTree-1.0.5-20051216.tar.gz CherryPy-2.1.1-py2.4.egg elementtree-1.2.6-py2.4.egg FormEncode-0.4-py2.4.egg json_py-3.4-py2.4.egg kid-0.8-py2.4.egg setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg setuptools-0.6c3.tar.gz SQLObject-0.7.1dev_r1457-py2.4.egg TestGears-0.2-py2.4.egg TestGears-0.2.tar.gz TurboGears-0.8.9-py2.4.egg TurboGears-0.8.9.tar.gz BTW: I don't think I needed the cElementTree-1.0.5-20051216.tar.gz, TestGears-0.2.tar.gz and TurboGears-0.8.9.tar.gz files. I had grabbed them incase I had to rebuild from source for some reason. I then executed the following commands: cd /usr/src tar -zxvf setuptools-0.6c3.tar.gz cd /usr/src/setuptools-0.6c3 python2.4 setup.py install cd /usr/src easy_install -f . TurboGears You will also need to install the python database drivers for your system. In my case this was MySQL-python. I copied the MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2.tar.gz file into /usr/src and executed the following commands: cd /usr/src tar -zxvf MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2.tar.gz cd MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 python2.4 setup.py build python2.4 setup.py install Hopefully this helps the next person who finds this thread... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
