I was trying to build lilypond (2.6.3-11) from source and it failed
during compilation of depency pacakge ec-fonts-mftraced (1.0.12-2)
The error is the following:
/bin/sh: /sw/bin/mftrace: /sw/bin/python2.3: bad interpreter: \
No such file or directory
I have python installed, but it's the newer 2.4 version (1:2.4.2-4)
I don't know how packaging works, but it seems to me it would be
better to check the version of python and then compile using
/sw/bin/python rather than /sw/bin/python23, except if only python23 works.
How did you get mftrace installed? It has a dependency on python23, so
you shouldn't have been able to install it unless you have python23
installed. Or did you force-remove python23 afterwards?
I used the following workaround to compile:
$ ls -l /sw/bin/python
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 17 Jan 20 00:45 \
/sw/bin/python -> /sw/bin/python2.4
$ sudo ln -s /sw/bin/python /sw/bin/python2.3
$ /sw/bin/fink install ec-fonts-mftraced
And everything got fine.
Bad idea, as Alex said.
Q: Is this workaround OK, or can I expect some silly behaviour
from ec-fonts-mftraced ?
Q: Should the package dependancies be updated ?
The package could probably even run with /usr/bin/python, but that's for
the maintainer to decide. If you want it changed, you can try do
persuade him.
