I tried following this but without success. I'm pretty sure that my "custom install" of Python was indeed a very bad idea and this is the root of the problems here. i.e. made things bad to worse.

If I can get it running from there then it's certainly my tamperings that have hosed it on my local machine. Any advice about reverting the bad "make install" I've done? Many thanks again - as penance, if I master this, I'll try testing it on a Gutsy LiveCD too :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
