I read about Democracy Player on the Web and thought I'd like to try it. My distribution is Fedora Core, but I'm still using v 3 and there was no RPM for that version. I therefore downloaded the tarball and got to the stage at which I was told to run run.sh to see whether I had the necessary dependencies installed. This is what happened when I did that: [root(a)localhost gtk-x11]# ./run.sh Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 46, in ? from Pyrex.Distutils import build_ext ImportError: No module named Pyrex.Distutils [root(a)localhost gtk-x11]# I don't understand how to overcome the problem disclosed. I thought that it might be possible for me to get an RPM which was or included Pyrex.Distutils, but I couldn't find such an RPM. I then Googled on Pyrex.Distutils, but, to be blunt, what I read was beyond me. If anyone can explain to me what I should be doing to overcome the problem, I'd be grateful. Leslie

Try 'yum install pyrex'. Or upgrade. Upgrading is good. Craig

The website indicates Fedora 4 and 5 support - doesn't talk about earlier. Here are release notes from: https://develop.participatoryculture.org/projects/democracy/wiki/LinuxNotes Setting up on FEDORA ΒΆ * On Fedora Core, you will probably require the following packages: boost xine-lib xine-lib-devel libfame gnome-python2-gtkmozembed gnome-python2-gconf mozilla-browser mozilla-psm * The gnome-python packages are available from Fedora itself, but the other two must be found elsewhere. We suggest rpm.livna.org. This is quite easy to do using yum. (You must be root or use sudo to run the following commands.) * Note, using yum with multiple non-fedora repositories may cause your machine to be rendered unusable. For some information on this, check out http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#Warning * o On Fedora Core 4: rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm * o On Fedora Core 5: rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm * o If you're not using yum, more information is available at http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html * Then, you can use yum to install the needed packages with the following command: (You must be root or use sudo to run the following command.) yum install boost xine-lib xine-lib-devel libfame gnome-python2-gtkmozembed gnome-python2-gconf mozilla-browser mozilla-psm -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand
