Hi John, I wrote the original instructions for using Homebrew to install Leo on the Mac. Unfortunately those instructions are a bit outdated by now. From your description I only see one problem: the PYTHONPATH you added to .bash_profile has changed to
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH This is mentioned by brew after you install sip - reinstall sip to verify the correct incantation for you (I assume you are using Python 2.6 - change to python2.7 if necessary). To answer some of your questions: pyqt depends on qt and sip, therefore installing the pyqt package will automatically install the rest. I've installed them separately in the instructions below to pick up the correct PYTHONPATH setting. Here is a summary of what I did today on a reasonably clean Lion system to get Leo working (maybe Ed can put this on the web site): - Read the Homebrew installation instructions at https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation - Make sure you have Xcode installed (test it by confirming that "gcc" runs in the Terminal). You can either get the full Xcode beast or the lean-and-mean Command-Line Tools for Xcode, as suggested in the Homebrew installation instructions. - In preparation for Homebrew, the best option in my opinion is to delete /usr/local via:: sudo rm -rf /usr/local and install any software in it via Homebrew instead. If this step fills you with dread and you do not want to lose your beloved third-party software, the second-best option is to make sure you have write permission for the directory via:: sudo chown -R <your user name>:admin /usr/local If you don't know your username, run "whoami". :-) This is useful because homebrew actually discourages you from installing third-party software as the superuser (the usual Mac apps in /Applications are also installed as the normal user, for that matter). - Install Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) by running the following command in the Terminal:: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(/usr/bin/curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/master/Library/Contributions/install_homebrew.rb)" - Run "brew doctor" and check any further suggestions to improve your system. - Run "brew update" to get the latest formulas - Install sip and note the caveat:: brew install sip This warns you to add the local python directory to your PYTHONPATH. Make a note of what this is (especially if you are not on Lion!). - Add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.profile on Leopard) - this is the default for LION:: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH # This is for SIP (and PyQT) as suggested by Homebrew export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH - Install PyQT:: brew install pyqt - Open a new Terminal tab / window so that the above settings take effect, and install Leo. I downloaded the Leo-4.9-final-a.zip, unzipped it, and ran "python launchLeo.py" inside the Leo directory. It would really be great to get a Leo formula going for Homebrew… As mentioned before, the main question is just where to place all the Leo files in the /usr/local hierarchy.
