Topic: DjangoStack / Installing PIL

Hi guys – I’m on djangostack-1.1.1-0 and SNow Leopard and wanted to install PIL, the imaging library.

I’ve tried both easy_install PIL and using the manual download, but I get this error:

building ‘_imaging’ extension
creating build/temp.macosx-10.4-i386-2.5
creating build/temp.macosx-10.4-i386-2.5/libImaging
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers -IlibImaging -I/Applications/djangostack-1.1.1-0/python/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/Applications/djangostack-1.1.1-0/python/include/python2.5 -c imaging.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.4-i386-2.5/imaging.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option “-Wno-long-double”
error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1

===
Is it installing it outside the stack? what’s the prob?

Also – a suggestion – why not adding PIL (and maybe other commonly used python libraries) to the default installation?

thanks very much,
mikele

Topic: DjangoStack / When are you guys going to update to latest Django?

I have upgraded my djangostack manually to django 1.1… it was enough to replace the directory in djangostack/apps/django/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django.
But yes, I have to admit that it’d be really nice to have a new stack that includes it by default (especially now that the stack runs on amazon goGrid too! wow).
And also, can I suggest to have iPython installed too by default? I tried installing it but I get an error with Readline (which is required by iPython)…
thanks!!!!

Topic: DjangoStack / Using DjangoModels without a server running

Dear all,
I need to import some xml into my webapp (called ltb1) – it’s a one-off thing so I want to do it outside
the webapp, but still making use of all the models I’ve defined in it..
So I created a new package in my djangostack/projects/ltb1 which contains a new module ‘import_xml’.
I should be able to access the DB through the django models, so to parse the xml and feed the results
into the DB accordingly.
(Essentially, I wanted to manually load whatever usually gets loaded with ‘manage.py’):

import sys, os,  ltb1.settings
from django.core.management import setup_environ
setup_environ(ltb1.settings)

from ltb1.ltbapp.models import MyModel

It seems to work till the ‘setup_env….’ but then it fails when I try to import my models. Here’s the result:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

Hi beltran

yes it did the trick! thanks a lot :-)
Just a small detail: the first line of /Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/apps/django/bin/django-admin.py in my case wasnt ending as you’ve written above (.python.bin), but just with ‘python’, i.e.

!/Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/python/bin/python

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / MacX86 install error- RubyStack 1.4-beta-0

Hi all,

thanks very much indeed!! just installed it – works perfectly!

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / MacX86 install error- RubyStack 1.4-beta-0

Sounds great – rubystack is really neat!
BTW I tried also to install JRUBYstack, but had no luck here too

It hangs while trying to install rails – from the activity monitor it looks like it’s java that is going nuts, sucking 99% of the cpu.

brilliant! tx again!

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Rake Error

UPDATE
I fixed it following carlos’ advice! it was my fault, the shebang line

#!/usr/bin/env /Applications/-Other-Apps/8-Languages-IDEs/BitNamiRubyStack1_3/ruby/bin/ruby

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / MacX86 install error- RubyStack 1.4-beta-0

Sorry I can’t ! The other mac I have is a powerPc … here instead I’m running 10.5.5.
I thought it was related to a mysql instance that was running in the background, so I stopped it (and actually deleted the mysql standalone mysql installation), re-installed rubystack 1.4, but the problem persisted!!!!!
i’m kinda stuck here cause I need a ruby develop environment..:-( trying to go back to a non-stacked solution now

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / MacX86 install error- RubyStack 1.4-beta-0

Strangely enough – I get the same error when installing the previous rubystack (1.2).
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikele/2924361648/

Also the console reports the same exception.. I’m starting thinking that there’s something in my system causing the problem – I wonder how, given that rubystack is a completely separate installation..

any suggestion much appreciated!! thanks in advance..

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / MacX86 install error- RubyStack 1.4-beta-0

tried to install the latest rubystack, but get this error:

any hint?

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Rake Error

(thanks to the admins for fixing the code formatting :-) )
Hi there!
I run into the same problem.. I did “gem install update” and then rake stopped functioning. I actually got some compile errors from the gem update process. Can it be related to that? Then I tried to install a brand new Bitnami stack but it always threw installation exceptions (might do another post about this too – i’ll give it another try this morning though) ..
Now my rake file looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env /Applications/-Other-Apps/8-Languages-IDEs/BitNamiRubyStack1_3/ruby/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'

version = ">= 0" 

if ARGV.first =~ /^_(.*)_$/ and Gem::Version.correct? $1 then
  version = $1
  ARGV.shift
end

gem 'rake', version
load 'rake'" 

And here’s the response in the console:

bash-3.2$ which ruby
/Applications/-Other-Apps/8-Languages-IDEs/BitNamiRubyStack1_3/ruby/bin/ruby
bash-3.2$ which rake
/Applications/-Other-Apps/8-Languages-IDEs/BitNamiRubyStack1_3/ruby/bin/rake
bash-3.2$ rake

/Applications/-Other-Apps/8-Languages-IDEs/BitNamiRubyStack1_3/ruby/bin/rake: line 13: version: command not found

bash-3.2$ 

Can anybody help??? thanks a lot in advance.
