app install error ... need help please.

Hello FreeBSD community,

Installing multimedia/devede and why I checked to include py27-psyco-1.6 I don't know but I did. I have this error and it looks like py27-psyco needs python 2.6 but I have 2.7? I have a couple of questions:

  1. Should I search for the Python 2.6 package, install with [cmd=]pkg_add python26[/cmd] then start over the devede port build from the beginning as in [cmd=]make install clean[/cmd]?
  2. Is there a way to continue a build where it left off from an error; if so what is the command?
  3. Should I go back to the build options and remove the py27-psyco and start build over?

It appears that devel/py-psyco indeed requires lang/python26. If you already have Python 2.7 installed and don't need 2.6 for anything besides this, it's probably not worth the hassle and I suggest you just reconfigure multimedia/devede to uncheck the PSYCO option. It's only for optimisation purposes anyway so you can probably live without it.

Thank You very much. I did [cmd=]make config[/cmd] and removed the py-psyco option and all is well. Thank you again.
