Richard; I'm stumped. Can you try version 0.6.10? See why below. I'm using eyeD3-0.6.10, so I know it's possible to install on XP. I took your question as an opportunity to upgrade to eyeD3-0.6.14, planning to write down how I did it an respond to your message. No joy. I think the appropriate sequence is config / setup build / setup install ; But I can't get it working. (BTW, I have Cygwin installed, which is where I get my "sh" command). When I did the "sh configure", I got: F:\installs\Python\eyed3\eyeD3-0.6.14>sh configure checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for python... /cygdrive/c/Python25//python checking if /cygdrive/c/Python25//python is version 2.3 or greater... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting config.status: creating setup.py config.status: error: cannot find input file: etc/eyeD3.spec.in I think that warning and error are fatal to the install. When I try to setup build, I get: F:\installs\Python\eyed3\eyeD3-0.6.14>python setup.py build running build running build_py error: package directory 'src\eyeD3' does not exist So, bottom line, I think the warning message: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting is the key. I just retried the configure in the .10 version and did *not* get this error: F:\installs\Python\eyed3\eyeD3-0.6.10>sh configure checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for python... /cygdrive/c/Python25//python checking if /cygdrive/c/Python25//python is version 2.3 or greater... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating setup.py config.status: creating etc/eyeD3.spec config.status: creating src/eyeD3/__init__.py config.status: creating doc/eyeD3.1 You might want to try downloading .10 instead of the current release and see if that works for you. See http://eyed3.nicfit.net/releases/ Sorry I can't help more. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
