Re: [Gnumed-devel] GNUmed download & installation problems (Macintosh Tiger)

I updated the download (Mac) wiki page and thought I would try my Mac  
(PowerPC running 10.4)

I did as above and assume on a Mac that normally one simply does

        cd  [/directory containing the client]

and then does (with $ being my prompt)

        $ python gm-from-cvs

which gave after a few different efforts

        iMac:~/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0 jb$ python gm-from-cvs
        python: can't open file 'gm-from-cvs'

        iMac:~/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0 jb$ pythonw gm-from-cvs
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/ 
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'gm-from-cvs'

        iMac:~/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0 jb$ pythonw gm-from-cvs
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/ 
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'gm-from-cvs'

        iMac:~/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0 jb$ pythonw gm-from-cvs.sh
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/ 
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'gm-from-cvs.sh'

At another time I got
        iMac:~/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0/client jb$ python gm-from-cvs.sh
          File "gm-from-cvs.sh", line 12
            cd ../
                ^

and even when I changed python to pythonw in gm-from-cvs I get the  
same errors
        # run
	pythonw wxpython/gnumed.py --log-file=$LOG --conf-file=gm-from- 
cvs.conf --

Maybe the problem comes from python 2.3x being the default in  
Tiger... even after I install python 2.4.4 and open a Terminal window  
and type
        su python -V

I am told only 2.3x even though running
        iMac:/usr/local/bin jb$ ls
lists results including
        python
        python2.4
        pythonw
        pythonw2.4

If instead I try calling pythonw2.4 from inside /usr/local/bin
        iMac:/usr/local/bin jb$ pythonw gm-from-cvs.sh
I see
	iMac:/usr/local/bin jb$ pythonw2.4 /Users/jb/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0/ 
client/gm-from-cvs.sh
	  File "/Users/jb/Desktop/GNUmed-0.2.7.0/client/gm-from-cvs.sh",  
line 12
            cd ../
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Does the following post explain anything?
