[visionegg] Re: installation problems MacOSX

Hi Inna,

(You're not a list subscriber, so I had to manually approve your post to the list.)

Recently the Mac OS X side of the equation has changed. I myself haven't dealt with it yet and updated the webpage, but I believe if you look in the mailing list archives, this was addressed a month or so ago.

Cheers!
Andrew

I followed the installation instructions from the web page but

http://undefined.org/python/pimp/darwin-7.0.0-Power_Macintosh.plist

does not exist. 

http://undefined.org/python/pimp now redirects to http://pythonmac.org/packages/

I downloaded and installed the following packages from
http://pythonmac.org/packages/:

PIL-1.1.5-py2.3-macosx10.3.zip
pygame-1.7.0-py2.3-macosx10.3.zip PyOpenGL-2.0.2.01-py2.3-macosx10.3.zip

Yet, when I'm trying to run vision egg examples i get the following exception:

2005-03-31 15:55:25,212 (481) CRITICAL: Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like pygame is having some trouble. Any hints?

Thank you very much.
Inna.
