Subject: [visionegg] Installation Help
Hello,
I am relatively new to programming and am trying to get visionEgg
installed and
running on a mac but am running into a problem. There is some kind
of X11 error
I believe. It may have something to do with my X11 path not
including the
library locations and so it can't find them.
I ran the python check-config.py in an X11 terminal. Here is what it
outputted:
Version checklist:
Python version 2.5.1 (OK)
extra Python info: (r251:54863, Apr 15 2008, 22:57:26) [GCC 4.0.1
(Apple Inc.
build 5465)]
numpy version 1.0.1 (OK)
PyOpenGL (package "OpenGL") failed
pygame failed: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> No module named
pygame.version
Python Imaging Library (package "Image") failed
Optional module(s):
Pyro failed
bash-3.2$
Oddly though, when I use the normal terminal window (as opposed to
X11) and I
run the check I get this:
Version checklist:
Python version 2.4.4 (OK)
extra Python info: (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple
Computer,
Inc. build 5341)]
numpy version 1.0.1 (OK)
PyOpenGL (package "OpenGL") version 2.0.2.01 (OK)
pygame version 1.8.0pre (OK)
Python Imaging Library (package "Image") version 1.1.5 (OK)
Can anyone help? Its probably something pretty simple but I don't
know how to
fix it.
Thanks!
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,
That is strange. To be clear, you certainly don't need to use X11 to
run visionegg on OSX, and you probably don't want that running in the
first place - who knows what it might do to your video timings. What
you _do_ need to make sure is that you are using a framework build (at
least, I think this is necessary). So, if you type 'which python',
you should see something like
/Library/Frameworks/Python...
or
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python...
or, you might see /usr/bin/python - verify that this is a symlink to a
framework build like so:
ls -l `which python`
(those are backquotes - under the tilde)
In any case, I see no reason for you to run this from an X11
terminal. So, if that's causing your problem, just don't do it!

Hi Stephanie,
To add to Dav's comments, the configuration you report looks like
PyOpenGL, pygame and PIL are not installed. This isn't an X11 error
but
rather a missing packages error.
I'm not using Mac much myself these days, so I have to go by what
others, primarily Alex Holcombe, have written on the VE website (at
http://www.visionegg.org/Download%20and%20Install/Install%20on
%20MacOSX
). The instructions on the website suggest to install packages from
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/ . There are for Python 2.4,
and
you're output indicates Python 2.5. The VE website also suggests using
MacPython2.4 (presumably also downloaded from pythonmac.org).
So, I'd suggest downloading virtually everything from pythonmac.org
and
trying again.
Please let us know if this doesn't work for you -- I'd like to make
sure
the online instructions work!
