Hi, i'am not an linux- or python-expert. But why you do not use Optware & ipkg ? I tried ….

Installation

 # ipkg install python

I got these messages:

Problems
I tried to start python and got an error:

 # python python: can't load library 'libpython2.4.so.1.0'

This was because i forgot to add this lib-export in the .bashrc form the Optware-Tutorial

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib

First Test
I wrote a simple testfile with following content:

 print "Hello World"

 # python /shares/internal/DATA/testpython.py Hello World

Success! Now hopefully i will not encounter other problems.

Would be great if you made a quick howto… I'm trying this now, but I have no idea if it will work. I've seen a few errors when running _make

Here's my recipe (provided you've already created /tmp/myfiles/ as explained in First Steps) :

 # cd /tmp/myfiles # wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/Python-2.5.1.tgz # tar -zxvf Python-2.5.1.tgz # cd Python-2.5.1 # ./configure # make # make install

_make takes forever to finish it seems. One hour now, and still going strong… hopefully it will finish sometime tonight, so I can install it as well :P

Anyone know if this will work? Or why it won't? Yes, I'm fairly new to Linux.
