Sorry for bothering. I was trying to update fipy to the current
trunk subversion but failed. I noticed the setup.py uses
"setuptools" which is not in my machine yet. So I downloaded the
egg for python 2.3 and installed it. But I still could not install
fipy. I got it build though. The message I got after I say "python
setup.py install --prefix=..." is:
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
I don't know what that error message means, and I'm also not clear on
what egg you mean. The installation procedure for setuptools that I
know about is at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions
I recommend that you delete /sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
setuptools-0.6c8-py2.3.egg and then follow those instructions.
Once trunk/ is stabilized, the use and installation of setuptools
should be automated, but we're not there yet.
