Hi may be someone can help. I'm trying to install libprs500 for linux fedora 8. I have followed the instruction from https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/download_fedora
but I keep getting errors.list as follows

[root@localhost /]# python --version

I think that imagemagick should be ImageMagick. when I run with this one it works and states

[root@localhost /]# yum install ImageMagick

when I enter the command from libprs500 for fedora I get this message

[root@localhost /]# easy_install -U TTFQuery libprs500
-bash: easy_install: command not found

I need some help any help:blink:

at this point I'm dead in the water.

I really would like to get this up and running it looks great

Bump!

What does the following give you


locate easy_install

This is what was returned



[root@localhost ~]# locate easy_install
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.pyo
[root@localhost ~]#


It looks like it found something what is going on? I don't have a clue.
I'm going to uninstall python and then reinstall python see if that helps
Thanks for the help

No need replace easy_install with the following


python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.py

that worked great , butt....
when I tried to run the

[root@localhost /]# libprs500_postinstall
-bash: libprs500_postinstall: command not found

so I tried to locate it by

[root@localhost /]# locate libprs500_postinstall
[root@localhost /]#
but got back nothing



thanks for the help

I have only one more command I'm almost done!!!!

Re run the easy_install command and look at its output carefully. It will tell you where it installed libprs500_postinstall

Well I may have spoke to soon when I ran the command it gave me no out put this is what I typed.

[root@localhost ~]# python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.py -U TTFQuery libprs500
[root@localhost ~]#

There wasn't any output.

Did I do some thing wrong?

what does a "which python2.5" give you?

It gives me
[root@localhost ~]# which python2.5
/usr/bin/python2.5

Hmm

which libprs500

How do I find that out? I followed the instruction from https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/download_fedora

I meant execute the command

which libprs500

What information do you need?

What information do you need?

Look at message 10 where you did exactly the same thing. He needs the same thing he needed then, the path to the executable. You used to know how to do this.

Sorry about being slow. I didn't refresh page and posted quick reply again
here is the output.


[root@localhost ~]# which libprs500
/usr/bin/which: no libprs500 in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@localhost ~]#

Sorry about being slow. I didn't refresh page and posted quick reply again
here is the output.


[root@localhost ~]# which libprs500
/usr/bin/which: no libprs500 in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@localhost ~]#

I can't help you figure out the problem but just for gathering facts maybe I can help get answers without a long string of questions that takes days. Do you have . in your search path? How are you starting libprs500?

Wow there's something very weird about your installation. Post the output of

env | grep PATH

Well it is a fresh install of fedora 8 not a upgrade.

here is the out put

[root@localhost ~]# env | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
[root@localhost ~]#


Any ideas?

I'm amazed that the easy_install command is giving you no output. For me on a fedora 7 system, I get the following output

I know I was using fedora 7 and was using one of your earlier version on that system and thought it was really great. I just decided to start from scratch with fedora 8. So I decided in my great wisdom why not do a fresh install to F8 out what harm can it do. boy was I wrong. F8 is not terrible but it giving me some problems.

I make it a policy with fedora to never upgrade to the current release always stay one behind, otherwise it's just too unstable.

Unfortunately, I cant really help you as I don't have a fedora 8 system to test on.

One suggestion I have is to read the setuptools documentation and install it manually, the fedora setuptools RPM seems to be borked.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I'm going to look a your output and see if I can get it loaded.

Thanks
david

well I've started on the path to finding out what is going on I have used the -v to see what it actually is going on. but I'm not an expert in python. So if anyone can give a look and see what is not going on with python.

david

looks like your setuptools installtion is broken. Try a manual installation by following the instructions at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions

well,
low and behold I do a yum update and now Libprs500 installs without a problem at all. I saw that fedora updated some python rpm's so I tried to reinstall and its done. It works great. Thanks kovidgoyal for all the time you spent on trying to solve the problem.

David

I'm glad the fedora team got their act together. :-)
