How to make devx work in Precise571 full install?

#1 Post by shimada »

For some reason, I installed precise 571-jp as full-install version. Recently I was trying to install python-pptx, but it did not work and showed the messages below :

# cd build
# cd lxml-3.1.2
# python setup.py install
Building lxml version 3.1.2.
Building without Cython.
Using build configuration of libxslt 1.1.26
Building against libxml2/libxslt in the following directory: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'bugtrack_url'
warnings.warn(msg)
Traceback (most recent call last):

result = _Distribution.parse_command_line(self)

args = self._parse_command_opts(parser, args)

nargs = _Distribution._parse_command_opts(self, parser, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/distutils/dist.py", line 531, in _parse_command_opts
"command class %s must subclass Command" % cmd_class
distutils.errors.DistutilsClassError: command class setuptools.command.install.install must subclass Command

Actually this error happens as long as I try to install any .py files.
I asked my friend, who use 571jp in frugal-install version, to try installation and he succeeded. When I reinstalled devx.sfs with sfs-load, it showed I have many files not copied. How can I make my devx work?Or is there any alternative ways?

Try this:
In Rox file manager.
Navigate to the location of the devx file.
left click on the devx_precise_5.7.sfs

In a Puppy full install, that is suppose to install what is in the sfs package. The stuff in the sfs package actually gets installed into the full install.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Bigpup:
Thanks for your reply :D
left click on the devx_precise_5.7.sfs then the sfs-load will be used automatically to install devx package. But after install sfs-load creates devx_precise_5.7.1_skipped.files and my problems mentioned above remains. devx_precise_5.7.1_skipped.files is a long list and I do not know what is important among these skipped files. What can I do then?
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
shimada

Did you try the alternative install method listed in the puppylinux wikka?
Click on the devx-*.sfs file, which will mount it.
Open a terminal in the mounted directory (press back-tick character)
cd to the files and copy the contents to the root filesystem using following commands in terminal:

cp -a -f --remove-destination * /
sync

When it tries to install the contents of the devx.sfs to a full install. It is suppose to not replace stuff that is already there.
That is what the skipped files list is suppose to be.

Are you installing the devx in a Precise 5.7.1 freshly done full install. No new programs added that could have installed some of what is in the devx?
