(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I need libpython2.7.so.1.0 for several programs.

Software manager can't find it ?? and an internet search finds all kinds of versions.

In my opinion, if a program has dependencies, it should have whatever it needs to run in the package.

Otherwise, chaos will be a common occurrence.

Which programs? Which puppy are you using?
You mean that all dependencies should be in the same .pet package?
Sometimes that's ok, depending whichs deps are. But chaos will occur ir we include all dependencies on the same packages.
You install a program that needed python 2.7, ok, later you install another one that also needs python 2.7. IF you uninstall one of these programs, python 2.7 will be also removed, so there you have chaos, your programs will start missing dependencies more often even when they had them satisfied.

That's why .sfs files are cool.

Anyways someone compiled this for us:

I got the missing library. Now I need to know where to put it.

I looked for a library directory but could not find one.

Thanks.

They should be on /usr/lib
If i were you i'd install that pet i gave you. Unless you're 100% sure that the only missing dep is libpython2.7.so

I installed the pet you recommended.

Hi fixit.
It is normal that 'Your-lib.so.2.1' don't understand that 'Your-lib.so.2.2' is an upgrade. You may get it to work by 'cheating', simply make a link from another version, or from a similar lib.
As an example, to get Xpdf to work, I have to make a link from '/lib/libpng12.so.0.42.0' to '/usr/lib/libpng.so.3'.
