Mandriva installation: how to???

[Rayen]

Hi there. Can anybody please explain, how to install Aldrin on Mandriva 2009? Or maybe someone here have an .rpm with the latest version? Thank you

what have you tried so far?

[Rayen]

well, after two days of tambourine dancings (I'm a bit newbie in linux ) I've compiled armstrong and then aldrin. but when I am typing 'aldrin' in the prompt, that's what I get:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost aldrin]# aldrin
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/aldrin", line 20, in <module>
    import aldrin.main
ImportError: No module named aldrin.main

[root@localhost aldrin]#


what now?

Which aldrin and armstrong revision are you using?

[Rayen]

Aldrin 0.13 (Mars), and I can't find any information about armstrong. All I know, that it uses libzzub-0.2.5
Anyway, I've downloaded both of them from the sourceforge a couple of days ago

OK, so the problem, I think, is that python is unable to find the bindings to the C++ library. This is as far as I know only possible if you are using an older version of libzzub for which you had to take an extra step to install python bindings. Can you please wipe that installation use these instead?

nope, same picture

I dunno, let's wait for someone who has more experience with python then me.

I'm not sure, but it might be that Aldrin got installed for the wrong version of Python (on Mandriva 2009, it should be 2.5).

Check that you have this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin

and not something like:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/aldrin

If so, just move the aldrin folder to the correct location, that should do it..

I would also like to know how to get it to work on mandriva.I've got the new 2010 edition, and tried installing all dependencies, but I tried typing scons configure in the Armstrong folder and it writes the following

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

scons: warning: The Options class is deprecated; use the Variables class instead.
File "/home/david/libzzub-0.2.5/SConstruct", line 58, in <module>

Error: no libfftw3 development files seem to be installed.
libfftw3 libraries and headers are required for building.

even though I typed urpmi fftw3 and it says:

very annoying.
