Erminig 2008 python
 

I've had a look at the forum but can't find an obvious answer to my problem. My guess is that I've done something stupid - but what?

I've flashed 2008 onto my N800; all seems fine.

I've installed GPE calender - seems to be fine.

I'm trying to get the excellent and essential erminig to work. I've installed:

python2.5 - 2.5.1-1osso3
python2.5-gobje - 2.13.1-1osso2
python2.5-gtk2 - 2.12.0-1osso5
python2.5-hildon - 0.8.8-1osso2
python2.5-xml - 0.8.4-1osso9

When I run erminig from an X-window I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/erminig", line 4, in <module>

import gtk

File "debian/python2.5-gtk2/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
ImportError: No module named cairo

Any suggestions more than welcome

Hi
Install python2.5-cairo
It appears only in redpill mode
It should be installed with python2.5-runtime.....

Re: Erminig 2008 python
 

Thanks for your help - I should have checked for -cairo; I do have red-pill enabled.. The real secret was "python2.5-runtime" - I guess I should have installed that rather than targeting the individual components.

I'm getting an "installation file corrupted" on -runtime.......

Yes - it did. I disabled "extras" another repository called extras with the misspelt link and things started to work.

[Actually, I ran into a problem with running out of space on my internal memory - solved by copying a load of stuff to one of the sd cards. Then it seems that Application Manager had partially installed -runtime; it gave a size of 19Kbytes (or something similarly implausible). I removed it, tried again and got some "failure" message. I then did an "apt-get installed python2.5-runtime" from a root x-window and all now seems well].
