Aggh-please fix easy_install

Trac is such a BITCH to install unless you are installing it for EVERYONE. also, I guess this is mistly Python’s fault. But anyway, using a STACK is great, but so much of Trac-add ins require easy_install to work right. Any help?

Hi,

I’ll look into it

Cheers

Ok, there’s a problem with the shebang line in easy_install file. The easiest way to avoid it is by launching easy_install as

./python easy_install

from python/bin folder

Another workaround is to change in easy_install the first line, which is something like

#!/home/antonio/trac-0.10.4-5/python/bin/python

to

#!/usr/bin/env /home/antonio/trac-0.10.4-5/python/bin/python

I will fix it for the next release. Thanks for pointing this out, this doesn’t happen on my machine (I use zsh as shell) so I hadn’t noticed it.

Thanks. I did have to actually set my path to include the /opt/trac/python/bin dir (in the first) in order to use the 2nd hack mentioned above, but that seems to have worked. Thanks for looking into it.

Aggh!
I forgot, it wasn’t really easy_install that was giving me the problem it was trac-admin. This is the one that fails with the bitnami install.
/opt/trac/python/bin/.python.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have set my path to include the local trac-admin utility and the local python lib but something isn’t quite working out. echo $PATH
/opt/trac/python/lib:/opt/trac/trac/bin:/opt/trac/python/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

and here is the result of ls -l on /opt/trac/python/lib/libpython*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4359234 Feb 13 12:35 /opt/trac/python/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0

So I now its there, but how to tell trac-admin to change LIB search paths?

This seems to have worked, so in case anyone else is wondering.

/opt/trac/python/bin# ./python2.5 /opt/trac/trac/bin/trac-admin resync

Basically run python2.5 from the python bin dir and execute trac-admin from there.

Yes, the idea of the BitNami stacks is to be completely independent so that they don’t interfere with your system. That’s the reason why INSTALLDIR/python/bin/python loads the needed variables which define the libraries path. You don’t have to set the PATH environment variable at all.

Cheers

The VM version of Trac + SubVersion also has a similar bug in easy_install. The shebang line has /bitnami/tracstack-linux/output/python/bin/python instead of /opt/bitnami/python/bin/python

Thanks for letting us know.
