PyGTK for python 2.6 on freebsd 7.2

X

xcristi

Hello all,

I'm trying to install pygtk 2.14 for python 2.6 installed on my freebsd 7.2 (some many versions, I know :) ).

Freebsd 7.2 came with bundled python 2.5, who has pygtk already installed. But I wanna use python 2.6, so I started to install also pygtk for it.

I've downloaded tar archive from pygtk site, and done:

Code: 
PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python2.6
export PYTHON
./configure

This part went ok, configuration script correctly detected python2.6 & stuff. Then make and got the following error (after some compilation):

Code: 
...
Making all in examples
Syntax error: redirection unexpected
Error code 2
...

Have anyone an idea what is wrong, or how can I alternative install pygtk?

Thanks in advance,
Cristian
 
Thanks for your reply.

What I did:
- first, I uninstalled the python26 to make things a little bit cleaner

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/lang/python26
make deinstall

(and manually removed the /usr/local/lib/python26)

- then, the big move

Code: 
portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25

This step seemed to work pretty well, and I have now python 2.6 instead of 2.5

- then, following the updating instructions

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/lang/python
make upgrade-site-packages

This was intended to upgrade the third-party packages, but something was not right. It just recompiled the python 2.6, everything ok, but no sign of packages
Q: Should I move to /usr/ports/lang/python2.5 instead of the /usr/ports/lang/python and run there the make command?

Anyway, I tried also with easy_install pygtk and got the error:

Trying now to debug the last error. Or maybe should I not use easy_install for pygtk?

Thanks,

Use portupgrade:

# portupgrade -r lang/python26 -x lang/pythong26

This should upgrade everything depending on python26 (which replaced python25 with the previous portupgrade -o) except the python26 port itself.
 
Hey, thanks for portupgrade tip, too bad I cannot test it yet... after some struggling, I made everything work as expected (until now).

I separate installed from ports py-gtk2(x11-toolkits), pycairo (graphics), py-numeric(math). For some of these I should put make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 (because the usual way didn't work - make deinstall/make reinstall)

I also added py-sqlite3 from the ports and now it looks ok.

Definitely I missed something in the beginning, the update procedure was too painful to be a 'normal' one. But a lot of things learned along the way :stud

Thanks everone! Case closed.

Not the best idea ;)

Try to figure out why it fails. It usually does for a good reason. If it claims it's already installed (or an older version) use pkg_delete to remove that particular version.

Make deinstall should only be used when deinstalling the exact same version as indicated by the port's Makefile. When a port is installed it registers which files are installed where. This can and will change between port versions. Pkg_delete will use the registered installation files to remove the files it installed.
