Ok, getting somewhere. That is the dir that needs to know about django. Next we need to know where django is, and 'install' that into the site-packages dir. 'install' is just a link, .pth file or putting django directly in that dir. I recommend the link.
more details are here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/#install-the-django-code if you still have problems, post the following: 1. What version of django you want (official release, or development version.) 2. Where the django code is 3. what django references are currently in your site-packages dir. For #3, do ls -ld django* in your site-packages dir, like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages$ ls -ld django* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2007-06-25 23:30 django -> /home/carl/django/django-src/django/ Carl K surfwizz wrote: > Sorry about that.
