error installing libprs500

[dschiri1]

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 \

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

at this point I'm dead in the water.

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

Bump!

[kovidgoyal]

What does the following give you

locate easy_install

[dschiri1]

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

[kovidgoyal]

No need replace easy_install with the following

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

[dschiri1]

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!!!!

[kovidgoyal]

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

[dschiri1]

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?

[kovidgoyal]

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

[dschiri1]

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

[kovidgoyal]

Hmm

which libprs500

[dschiri1]

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

[kovidgoyal]

I meant execute the command

which libprs500

[dschiri1]

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.
