[visionegg] Re: making a mess of installation OS X

Hi
Very interested in visionegg. But, I'm ashamed to admit, but I've been
trying to install visionegg for several days and seem to be further away
than ever.

Not your fault -- it doesn't help that Apple updates their OS in a major way every year or two and that the Python team has struggled to make an inherently very-unix-y Python much more Mac-like, resulting in some degree of confusion, moving targets, etc.

To be much more help that what I've provided, I think we'll need specific cut-and-pastes of what failed and maybe some directory listings.

I'm running OS X 10.3.9. 

Me, too, so we should hopefully be able to get you sorted out.

I tried installing macenthon and then
visionegg, according to the "Instructions for Panther", which didn't seem
to go well for some reason. 

I really think MacEnthon is the way to go.  What didn't work?

The 'uninstall' script for macenton failed. 

I'm not sure this is an issue.

I
then tried the "Old Instructions For Panther 10.3". Launching check-
config.py said that visionegg couldn't be loaded.

Are you saying that everything else was installed OK? This is a very good sign, it means you're almost there.

I then tried installing
python 2.4.1, and reinstalling again according to the 'Old instructions'.
This was even worse as check-config not only couldn't load visionegg, but
also couldn't load several of the other python packages I installed.

I haven't used non-Apple pythons on Mac, so I can't speak to the 2.4.1 issue.

Here are some relevant listings from my 10.3.9 system.

Is there an easy way to uninstall this mess and try again, or do I need
to do something drastic at this point.
Thanks for any help
Rob
