Code:

I dont know what it's requesting. Any ideas?

Install a development snapshot of SIP first then install a development snapshot of pyqt.

I did, got both packages from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk. Sip 4.3.1 installed fine. The PyQT package fails with the above error

kovidgoyal · 09-30-2007, 03:05 PM

Install the development snapshot not 4.3.1

Do you know where I can download those? On the Riverbank Computing site, the dev snapshots directory only has changelogs in them

kovidgoyal · 09-30-2007, 03:22 PM

Hmm looks like Phil pulled the latest snapshots. Check back in a while they should go up again.

EDIT: Actually I just tried building pyqt 4.3.1 and it worked for me. What system are you building this one?

Ubuntu Feisty.

kovidgoyal · 09-30-2007, 04:23 PM

Works for me on a feisty system as well. You should post to the pyqt list

When I attempt to transfer files from my computer to the memory card, I receive the following error:

When I attempt to transfer files from the base memory on the device to my computer, I receive the following error:

What's up? I'm running Windows.

Heck, it won't even let me view a .lrf file with the gui:

Hm, trying a fresh install that isn't done over top the old install, as that's probably what's making everything FUBAR. :P

Yeah, that seems to have fixed it!

leha · 10-01-2007, 07:35 PM

Can somebody explain to me what is the reason for using development snapshot for libprs500? Is there features that absolutely essential for writing a GUI interface?

kovidgoyal · 10-01-2007, 07:49 PM

The beta GUI has now been merged back into the main GUI as of version 0.4.0.

BrendenM · 10-02-2007, 02:19 PM

I followed the installation instructions for Ubuntu Feisty for the regular version. I wanted to try the developmental version however it seems that in doing so I've borked my system up good.

I receive the following error when running python setup.py develop

Code:

Installed /home/me/personal/eBooks/Software/libprs500/src

I don't know if that is a problem or can be ignore because I am using zsh, not bash. If it is ignorable then I have something else wrong because when I run libprs500 I get the following errors

Code:

Looks like libprs500 was not installed correctly.

Post the output of

cat /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/easy-install.pth

Well I think I may have corrected some problems. I'm running Xubuntu and I had to manually update SIP and PyQT. I'm still getting the install errors and lrfviewer doesn't run but libprs500 does now.

Here's the contents of easy-install.pth

Code:

import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path)
./TTFQuery-1.0.0-py2.5.egg
/home/me/personal/eBooks/Software/libprs500/src
import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = p+len(new)

I see you've installed it from svn. I assume you ran make in the gui2 directory?
