Installing Superkaramba w/ Python 2.5

By default, the configuration file of Superkaramba only looks for Python versions <=2.4. This was a problem for me, as Suse 11.0 installs Python 2.5 - not 2.4. Just a quick change to the the configure file should solve that problem (assuming you have the proper dependencies installed):

Open /superkaramba-0.39/configure
Search for the text :

if test -z ""2.4""; then
  version="1.5"
else
  version=""2.4""

Technically, you can edit any of the given options (2.4, 2.3, etc.). 2.4 is just the first occurrence of a usable python variable.

Change the entire selection to:

if test -z ""2.5""; then
  version="1.5"
else
  version=""2.5""

You should be able to finally configure the application correctly (at least, it worked for me).

./configure
make
sudo make install

This seems to knock out the missing python2.4 libraries error I was continually receiving. I hope this helps others, as well.

Webpin Is there a reason for not using a rpm?

Ah, thank you for that. I’m new to the openSUSE community (coming from a debian-based background) and wasn’t aware of this Webpin functionality. :slight_smile:

Again, thank you - please disregard my ignorance.
