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 Python 2.5.1 [root@localhost /]# yum install python-setuptools python-imaging qt4 PyQt4 fonttools unrtf \ > python-mechanize imagemagick xdg-utils dbus-python livna 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package python-setuptools - 0.6c7-2.fc8.noarch is already installed. Package python-imaging - 1.1.6-4.fc8.x86_64 is already installed. Package PyQt4 - 4.2-8.fc8.x86_64 is already installed. Package fonttools - 2.0-0.11.20060223cvs.fc7.x86_64 is already installed.

Package ImageMagick - 6.3.5.9-1.fc8.i386 is already installed. Nothing to do 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 at this point I'm dead in the water.

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