Re: Ctypes Install in Linux
Uh, I suppose you need a bit of reading up on Linux. ;) http://www.northernjourney.com/opensource/newbies/ http://www.linuxhelp.net/ etc. > How do I make myself a "root-user"? To become root, use the "su" command. Obviously you'll need the root password which you do know, don't you? >how do I add access the PYTHONPATH environment variable? If you use the "bash" shell (probably you do) then type this in: export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/dir1:/path/to/dir1 Mind you this setting will be valid only in that particular shell. There are various ways to make this setting accessible to all shells started. To find about these, that's left to the OP as an exercise. :-) Cheers, Miklos -- The ring of the friendly serpent in business suit: Python, Zope, Plone http://www.jegenye.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Ctypes Install in Linux
Thanks for the help. I'm kind of new to Linux, but I am the only user of this machine (just installed Red Hat). How do I make myself a "root-user"? For the second method you mentioned, how do I add access the PYTHONPATH environment variable? Thanks again! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Ctypes Install in Linux
Most likely you're trying to do this as a non-root user and /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages must be writable only with root privileges. If you cannot go root on that machine then you could just install the package in some directory you can write to and add the directory name to your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Ctypes Install in Linux
I'm trying to install ctypes for Python in Linux. Linux won't let me create /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes ... "Permission denied" ... Anyone know how I could get it to work? It's probably something I need to chmod or change permissions on... Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
