Gourmet Recipe Manager 0.8.5.12-1

Hi Folks,

Has anyone managed to get this python program to work on SuSE. I believe
I have all dependencies met but I am unable to install from source.
either using the install script or RPM Build technique. If anyone has
this as an RPM or knows where I can get one could they please either let
me know HOW they got it to compile or Where I can get the RPM (RPM as a
preference because I am lazy!!). The very same source file compiles and
installs perfectly well on my Ubuntu Laptop

Kind Regards

Craig

I got it to work by doing a couple of things. The setup.py script errored
out during the install phase by issuing a +python2.3 setup.py install"
command. This is because in the setup.cfg file the python variable is set
to python2.3. Of course, 9.3 has 2.4 so that command will fail. Changing
it to python=python fixes that. The other problem is the "requires:
metakit, gnome-python2, etc..." I just deleted that line and the other
sections for creating rpms for the other distros like fedora so that only
SuSE was left. Su'ed to root and ran "python build_rpms.py", and it
created the binary and source rpm's in the dist directory. I installed the
package and seems to run ok, though I haven't really used it too much.
Anyway, you might try those changes and see if it helps. If not, then take
a look at the logfile in the /tmp directory and see if you can pinpoint
where the install fails. The file is called GOURMET_LOG or something close
to that.

Hi sktsee,

I did as advised above and everything now work correctly, Thanks for
that However in the interim (Only 6 hours I know but hey, I live
fast-ish) I have installed Krecipe on both My Wifes and My PC's using a
Networked MySQL database on our File & print server and everything seems
to work correctly. With the added bonus of a shared database so only
half the storage space required (The joys of us both being Qualified
Chefs as well as Linux users).

Thanks for you fix I hope someone else finds it useful. I have tested it
and managed to get it working, although I am now not going to be using
it myself as Krecipes does what we require (to create a database for all
our own recipes and creations) and with Krecipies this can be on a
server and thus more useful. The job for tomorrow is to get Krecipes on
the Ubuntu (Gnome) laptop and then perhaps try and configure some
Database replication so the Laptop can be portable when it needs to be

Thanks again

Craig
