[pymetar] help / question
 

I want to install this application pymetar link is here

http://www.schwarzvogel.de/software-pymetar.shtml

how would i go about doing that ? its a command line only utility so i dont think it should be a problem to run on the n900 ?

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

basically it should be enough to unpack the archive somewhere, go to the created folder

cd pymetar-0.16/bin

and run the script

./pymetar

for more info you should bother the authors ton include a readme.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

i tried that out said permission denied =(

i did read the readme didnt get much info from it.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

three possible solutions spring to mind:
- you did miss the leading ./
- the script is not set executable -- what does
ls -al pymetar-0.16/bin/pymetar
return?
- you don't have /usr/bin/python

what _exactly_ did you do and what _exactly_ happend/was returned?

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

You using root access?? You need to get rootish and in terminal you need to type: sudo gainroot

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

i did not miss the leading ./

the return from the command you told me

-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 1897 Jan 17 05:41 pymetar-0.16/bin/pymetar

i checked /usr/bin and /usr/bin/python is there

i did ./pymetar and it said /bin/sh: ./pymetar permission denied and that is all

tried it as root as well

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

1. You don't have execution permissions for the file, try
chmod 755 pymetar
2. Make sure you're not trying to run it from /home/user/MyDocs/... as this is FAT and chmod will not work, you'll have to move it to somewhere in /home/user before doing 1.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

ok will try that out

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

/homee/user/pymetar-0.16/bin # ./pymetar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pymetar", line 6, in <module>
import pymetar
ImportError: No module named pymetar


thats the message i get from that

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

yeah, i guess that setup.py needs to be run beforehand -- don't know, though, if that works flawlessly with maemo.
after all, the script is an example on how to use the actual lib.

if you only are looking for weather info, there are a few apps avaliable already.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

i wanted weather info in raw metar format for flying purposes, this app converts raw metar into easily understandable formating but even raw metar would be fine.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

ok, but i guess you have to bother the developers for information on how to make that thing work.
somehow that setup.py plays an important role, but i don't know if it will work with maemo as supposed.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

from my understanding maemo has python so it should work no ?

well the thread is up there if anyone can provide some input

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

yepp, python is there -- but you need to check, if all necessary packages are available and if the setup will use the right pathes and stuff.

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

hmm dont really know how to do all that

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

that's why i proposed to bother the developers :-)

:(...might it be bkz of unistallin RECALLER application?
what shall i do now?

Re: [maemo 5] help / question
 

please, don't hijack a completely unrelated thread!
for any further questions/answers, open a new thread!

just to help you get started:
your issue produces a lot of results, if you search for it. for starters, you should probably disable extras-devel.
w/o further investigation, i'd suspect that xserver-xomap exists in different versions in the repositories you enabled.
