[Zope] Popy Problems

[jyd0vu001@sneakemail.com]

Russell, download the following tarball.  Unzip/tar, read the README or INSTALL for the python command used to install it (it doesn't use configure;make method - instead it's something like python install.py ..).

http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html#Download-mxBASE

Once that's done, you'll have mxDateTime.h in two places...  in the source you just untarred and in the /usr/local hierarchy. Mine is at:

/usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.h

To double check that it's there, type the following:

cd /usr/local/lib
find ./ -name mxDateTime.h -print

Once that is done, you should be able to build PoPy (assuming Python's paths aren't entirely messed up).  With PoPy built, you may run into problems with Zope finding the shared library for mxDateTime.  A workaround is to copy (or possibly link):

cp /usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.so \
   /usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages

hth,
Paul.

Hmmm...maybe more details are in order: I've got a PowerPC running 
Debian-woody. I don't have a clue what egenix is, and I can't seem to find a 
Debian package for it, either. A find / -name egenix turns up nothing. 
Neither does a "locate". I looked in the debian archive, and it ain't there 
that I can tell. So, what's egenix, and where can I get that? 

Part II: bak (kedai) says:

Since I don't have this, I can't get the mxDateTime.h file. Neither can I 
seem to locate the "standard mx tar ball".  I do have the 
mx/DateTime/mxDateTime stuff, and move the .so to the different place that 
was mentioned, but no dice. 

Thanks for the help so far.
