I'm having problems with python's versions (from ports) and I need some advice. If I were installing everything manually, I would just install python2-5 and be done with it (I'm very much no fan of Python-3.x), but, when I use my usual ports tool (portupgrade) it keeps on installing other versions of python. I'm both scared that it's going to do me a "favor" and upgrade my python (something I'd really like to avoid), and I don't know sufficient details of python's administration to make sure that my python2.5 port is my main one.
OK, on to the immediate problem: trying to install multimedia/quodlibet. I asked around a bit on the freebsd-chat list, and got a suggestion that quodlibit might best match my needs for a mp3 player (good GUI for using playlists) so I wanted to install it. Problem is, even though I've just freshly forced (-f) portupgrade to reinstall python2.5 along with py-gtk2, the quodlibet install consistenly fails telling me that py-gtk's version is less than 2.8. I have both PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.5 and PYTHON_VER=2.5 in both my /etc/make.conf and in my tcsh shell environment. I tried erasing my /usr/local/bin/python and replacing it with a link to python2.5, that fixed what I see when I manually start python, but quodlibet still can't find the right version of py-gtk2. I don't know how to check or fix this myself, although I'm guessing that something's missing from my environment. I tried looking for a "config.log" from the quodlibet port (a strategy taht often tells me EXACTLY what went wrong) but I can't find the file in the quodlibet work directory. So, does anyone know how quodlibit might be probing for the py-gtk2 version, or how I should change things so that the right version of that is found? I really would like to get quodlibet running, but no more than I would honestly like to get my python2.5 correctly configured also. I really like python2.5, it's a great language, isn't it? _______________________________________________ freebsd-python@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-python To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-python-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
