Re: Installation problem on Ubuntu 10.04

Hi Andrea,

This could be a simple path problem. The pynglex problem is something different.

What does:

  which python

report, and where did you untar the PyNGL tar file from?

You need to untar it in the *root* directory of where python resides.

For example, if "which python" reports "/usr//bin", then
the root directory is "/usr" (and NOT /usr/bin or /usr/lib).

This means you should be in /usr when you untar the file.

To fix pynglex, you can edit the file directory and change
/d2/haley/external/bin/python2.6 to /usr/bin/python.

It sounds like your python installation is in /usr. Do you
see anything if you type:

   ls /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

and

   ls /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyNGL

?
