How to integrate gmetad-python installation via `make` (the standard way of building from source) I will leave it up to you guys. I am assuming in the future all I need to do to install gmetad-python (via sources) is simply to do `./configure --with-gmetad-python` and then `make install` will run setup.py or whatever and install gmetad-python (if that isn't already done so). Of course gmetad & gmetad-python shouldn't be installed at the same time :) Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
