Installing pyNeighborhood-0.4.1

Hi

Hope somebody can help with this, it's the first time I have ever used any form of Linux and am having a bit of a nightmare getting to grips with it :cry:

My problem at the moment is I am trying to install pyNeighborhood-0.4.1

I get as far as the make install command and the receive the following error...

install: cannot remove '//usr/local/bin/pyNneighborhood': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1

Any help would be so welcome,,, Please :cry:

Thanks,

Stuart

 

You need to be root to do make install, as an installation step is placing files into filesystem areas under root control. Use

Code:

sudo make install

instead.

 

Many thanks for the help daldred I now have the program installed.

As above I have the program installed but receive the following error in a terminal window when trying to open any mounts in pyNeighborhood with file manager,

xterm: Can't execvp mc: No such file or directory

Please help ..

Thanks,

Stuart

 

For some reason, pyNeighborhood's default file manager is Midnight Commander (for which the command is 'mc'. The problem is probably that you don't have it installed.

Two options: one is to install Midnight Commander (it will be in the standard add/remove software list somewhere - it's standard Linux software, albeit not as pretty as full graphical file managers); the other is to see if there's somewhere in LinNeighborhood's configuration to change it to something else. The file manager on the One is Thunar; I found this link which might help you deal with this.

 

Hi Guys,
I also thought I'd try pyneighborhood, but could not find 0-4.1. I found 0.5.0-rc4 though and thought I'd give it a try.
I don't fully understand this make install business, as I too am new to linux, however the readme said try " python setup.py install".
This runs but cannot find /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile.
Sure enough there is no config subdirectory in my python2.5 directory.
Any assistance would be really appreciated.

Danny.

 

I think you will need to install the Python development libraries as well - the package name starts python-devel. Make sure the version of the 'devel' package matches the version of the main Python package you have installed.

 

Thank you David. That worked, but I am at work at present and no workgroups present.
Will test when I get home in about 10 hours.
In the meantime I have been honing my scripting skills

Will let you know how I get on.


Danny.
