mypaint python help
 

one day i'll understand what i'm doing. untill then i'll keep asking. i'm trying to get mypaint working on either a n800 or n810. i have installed mypaint_0.5.0-1~hildon7_armel but it will not install as python2.5-gtk2 and python2.5-hildon are missing. having spent the afternoon searching and i cannot work it out, i ask for help. if you can point me in the right direction please do.

Re: mypaint python help
 

Did you try to install python2.5-gtk2 and python2.5-hildon?

Re: mypaint python help
 

that is what i'm trying to work out how to do. can you offer any advice? i have not been able to get it to install.

Re: mypaint python help
 

Perhaps you could tell us what the problem is. That is what the error message (if there is one) as to why python2.5-gtk2 and python2.5-hildon are not installing.

Have you tried installing from the command line using: apt-get install

This will often yield much more info about why an install doesn't work than the Apps Manager.

I hope this helps,

Craig...

I've not had any problems installing MyPaint on my N800 pre or post Diablo, downloading from http://nokiaaddict.com/2008/04/08/n800-mypaint/

The only Python2.5 package I have installed on the N800 Diablo is python2.5-feedparser which was installed when I installed gPodder.

thanks for all the help, got it working. my problem is that i forget the application manager and the browse installable applications sections exist. i must not think of it as a comupter...... i must not think of it as a computer...... maybe i should.

You must not think of it as a Windows computer ;)

Re: mypaint python help
 

So what I sugguested in PM fixed your problem then?

Re: mypaint python help
 

it pointed me in the right direction, thanks, i could not find the specific files that the tablet said were missing when i tryed to install mypaint. so i installed one of the many python options [i went for the one with the nicest icon, (it's a little trick of mine that, usually works)] and then it worked.

only trouble is that the programme keeps 'not responding' I'll look at the tomorrow.
