[ANN] Boa Constructor 0.4.0

Any ideas where to drop the unzipped file on FC3?

I dropped it here:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.4-gtk2-ansi/wxPython/tools/boa-constructor-0.4.0

And did a link:

/usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.4-gtk2-ansi/wxPython/tools/boa-constructor-0.4.0/Boa.py

It loads ok but then blanks out and never appears???

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I am pretty sure that this is of no help, but I changed my Boa location to be "outside" the wxPython location (it doesn't change as often), i.e. I put it directly under site-packages. Also I had problems with e.g. the demo in a multi version install, actually a bit more complex. I have Python 2.4 with wxPython multiversion, and Python 2.3 with the older stuff, however for some reason I can not remember I had to reinstall 2.3 which means that a lot of the defaults are looking for Python 2.3 stuff, so I had to put explicit calls to Python 2.4 (i.e. c:\python24\python.exe) and if you haven't guessed it yet, yes I am on Windows!

I used Unix (HP-UX and AIX) a long time ago and I can't remember but isn't there something similar as on Windows, i.e. the sequence of install might have an influence?

Sorry if this is just noise and of no help.

Actually, Boa is not a Python package and so it doesn't need to be installed to a dir on the PYTHONPATH at all. I put mine in /opt/boa/boa-constructor-0.4.0 and then just set /opt/boa/boa-constructor-0.4.0/boa.py to be executable, changed it to unix line-endings and then made a symlink to it in /usr/local/bin.

Could you provide a symlink example
for it to give me an idea. Im doing this now on Suse 9.2.

Thanks,
