Hi, Apologies if this was answered somewhere else, I have not found anything similar anywhere.
I have SUSE 11.0 and I am trying to install a program called mnemosyne. I need easy_install for this, for which I installed setuptools through yast2. But when I run easy_install for the final installation, I get an error like this: [...] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/test-easy-install-3728.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. [...] >From what I have gathered by reading here and there, it seems that the actual path for site-packages is not the place where it is being looked for. Sure enough, I have /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/ . What worries me is that there is no file called test* there, and I am not even able to find the site.py file mentioned in site-packages/README. I suspect that I have two concurrent installations or something like that (I do have python and python2.5 inside /usr/lib). How do I untangle this? Or at least how do I get easy_install to find the right place? Thanks a lot, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
