PySol --> SuSE 10.0

[Mike T.]

Hi,

I'm trying to install PySol on 10.0. I've tried two routes: the RPM and
building from source.

First, from RPM. I su'd to root and run the following:

linuxdell:/home/mike # rpm -i pysol-4.82-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
tkinter >= 2.2 is needed by pysol-4.82-1

Checking in Yast, it appears that tkinter is provided by python-tk
(although I could be wrong):

pyth_tk
python_tkinter_lib
pyth_tkl
python-tkinter
_tkinter.so
_tkinter.so
python-tk = 2.4.1-3

I also have python-devel and tk-devel installed.

Trying from source, I was told I first needed to install
pysol-sound-server3.01. I did that, and then attempted to install pysol:

linuxdell:/home/mike/pysol-4.82/src # python pysol.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pysol.py", line 121, in ?
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
File "/home/mike/pysol-4.82/src/main.py", line 424, in main
r = pysol_main(args)
File "/home/mike/pysol-4.82/src/main.py", line 367, in pysol_main
r = pysol_init(app, args)
File "/home/mike/pysol-4.82/src/main.py", line 91, in pysol_init
app.dataloader = DataLoader(args[0], f)
File "/home/mike/pysol-4.82/src/util.py", line 186, in __init__
raise os.error, str(argv0) + ": DataLoader could not find " +
str(filenames)
OSError: pysol.py: DataLoader could not find ('html/license.html',)

Nowhere in the extracted files were there html files. I also downloaded
pysol-4.80, which supposedly didn't need to be compiled. Checking these
extracted files, html/license.html did indeed exist. So, attempting to
install 4.80:

linuxdell:/home/mike/pysol-4.80 # ll

linuxdell:/home/mike/pysol-4.80 # ./pysol
../pysol: could not find the file 'pysol_24.pyc' !
Has anyone run across this sort of problem or could please advise me as to
how I can get this to work?

Thanks, Mike
