I'm running slackware linux and have downloaded the source tar file. I untarred it and cd to the directory it creates. There doesn't seam to be any installation script, I tried 'python setup.py' and it asks for parameters. So I decided to run the btdownloadgui.py file and I get the following;



What exactly am I doing wrong? The file named "INSTALL.unix.txt" doesn't help at all. I added that line to my /etc/mailcap and it doesn't do anything more for me. Perhaps that INSTALL.unix.txt file should be more speicific than



Untar where? I assumed that meant to place the bt* files to /usr/bin where it would most likely install. That didn't help though. Same error as in the first quote.

After trying for days to get this working I finally stumbled upon rpm versions from this board shortly after my first post. It only took about 40 searches to find. ; / Anyways, I installed the files and tried to run the command and I recieve this error;



Checking under /usr/bin/ I see that I have two pythons, one is simply python and another is python2.3. I think that if I can just change the program so that it searches for python2.3 rather than python2 this will work. Anyone know how I can do that? I've been searching, and googling and searching and here I am asking for help with it finally. Thx in advance.

Just type python /usr/local/bin/btdownloadheadless.py, or whatever the path and script you want is.

Of course this only works if python is in your path.

the parameter u need is 'install'
type 'python setup.py install'

Sweet! It would be awesome if this were in the INSTALL file. That would make the file useful.

anybody know why i only get a white light and nothing else in my status box of S-5.8.8 , i tried every client none of them works . could someone please help me ?

which website do you go on to download files in the first place

This isn't the right place to look for that information, Guest. Sorry.

Okay, I did this, and what I got back from Mandrake 10.1 Official is that it couldn't find "makefile" under /usr/local/python2.3/config. I noticed I didn't HAVE a /config directory under /usr/local/python2.3!

How would I elegantly fix this problem? Obviously, I would have to make the missing directory, but of the missing file(s)........?
