Hi Daniel, Building the bindings is essential - it's what lets Python talk to the C++ sword library. The problem here is that you haven't got the auto tools.
There was a configure script shipped with the release. It should be in the bindings/swig/package directory. I'm not sure what the ISO looks like though. If you can't find the configure script, I can send it to you. I'm pretty sure that sword-svn will be the wrong folder to look in, as it won't have the generated configure script. Once found, it should be as simple as (from the package directory) ./configure --with-sword-dir=/usr/include/sword make pythonswig make python_make cd python python setup.py install However, don't be surprised if that doesn't work exactly :) The process is deatiled at http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/RunningBPBible God Bless, Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 (ESV) On 6/5/08, Daniel Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ben, > > This is fantastic!
