    Anyone used them or better yet get them to work ?
    I've created a .rpm of nicotine that says it needs pygtk 1.99.16 I have installed 2.0 and 1.99.16 still says it requires it.

    Tried installed from source on both Nicotine and Pyslsk but neither can find wxPython which I have installed. :confused:
    [stephen@rfc1918 bin]$ python ./pyslsk
    Can not find wxPython modules. Either wxPython is not
    installed, or it's not in Python's module search path (it could be built
    for a different version of python interpreter for example). The current
    search path is

    [stephen@rfc1918 bin]$

    is there a switch you can use like --with-wxpython-libs=LOCATION, or something, install the devel packages too maybe, nicotine works perfectly for me though

    I had that problem the first time I installed pyslsk. Took me ages to realise I had two distinct wxpython folders and it was looking in the wrong one.
    I removed them both and started again and it eventually worked.

    nicotine is great, so was pyslsk, totally dig that postcardware.

    Yea thats one of the reasons i will never use an rpm based system again, it just cant handle dependancies properly, python keeps messing up, and even when you do get it working, you can be sure that when it upgrades to the next version it will be broke again, with some new problem. You spend so much time trying to get rpm packages to work, you would be beter off just getting a good lib structure yourself, and compile everything from tarball. Gentoo really kills the problems associated with python, if for some reason portage fails with python (due to its dogy lib binings); which is unlikely. There is a second assault with python-updater, which again automatically sorts out any possible remaining discrepancies. Ive been using it for just over a year now, and not one python error.

    I've uninstalled Mandrake and am now totally windows.
    Was thinking of trying another distro that packages are easier to compile on.
    Any ideas ?
    I'd go for Gentoo only it seems very complicated.
