I am trying to install python, but am having problems. I did what the README file said, and it created an executible code in the current directory as it said it would when I typed "make". It seemed to say to copy the executable over to the /usr/local directory, which I did.
If I type ./python in the directory I did the make in I get: execonn# ./python Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 31 2006, 07:50:04) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Which is I believe correct. But if I type /usr/local/python I get: Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 31 2006, 07:50:04) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> execonn# /usr/local/python Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 31 2006, 07:50:04) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> So nothing that tries to use it works. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Marshall -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
