Re: [Gnumed-devel] installation problem

Hallo Dominique,

Someone please, this needs updating.

Please try running gm-from-cvs-macosx.sh in client/ and report
back what happens.

Likely you are good here.

> - the GnuMed Python modules installed in site-packages/ 
Seems to not apply for Panther Python ?

> - your PYTHONPATH environment variable set up correctly 
This is what the abovementioned shell script tries to do.

Did you run this in a terminal window with the GUI open or on
the plain system console ?

Right.

Good, so you do have it. It just appears that Python can't
find it generically in the path. Can you try starting an
interactive Python session in a terminal window (xterm, rxvt
or similar) ? Then type

 import wxPython.wx

and tell us what happens.

That's where the shell looks for binaries. Not much to do with
libraries.

> - echo $PATH doesn't give me anything (no error, just nothing) 
You mean "echo $PYTHONPATH ?

Eventually you should add /usr/lib/"wxPython" to PYTHONPATH. That
*should* work although I am not expert enough to tell whether
that's the preferred or Right Thing(tm) to do on a Mac.

> - I cannot find this "site-packages" folder anywhere 
I would guess that it doesn't apply for Mac. Please stay with
us so we can figure this out and put in the appropriate bits
and pieces.
