Ubuntu 12.10 Python issue?

Post by daarsk »

Hi,
I have installed vegastrike by...
as root
echo 'deb http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:klaussfreire:debian/xUbuntu_12.10/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vegastrike-data.list
apt-get update
apt-get install vegastrike-data

wget http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:klaussfreire:debian/xUbuntu_12.10/Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key

When I try to run from terminal, I get...
vegastrike: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_python-py27.so.1.49.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Cheers,
James

Welcome aboard daarsk try installing libboost_python-py27 as that message is saying that it is not installed and it also means that klauss will have to check that .deb as it may not have been specified as a dependency.

Enjoy the Choice :)

OK, close, but not there yet.
tried sudo apt-get install libboost_python-py27
no such thing, unable to locate package, unless there is a repo i can add to sources??

but then tried install libboost-python1.49.0 (check naming convention is different than above)
got
Package libboost-python1.49.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libboost-python1.49.0' has no installation candidate

tried install libboost-python1.46.1
got
libboost-python1.46.1 is already the newest version.
libboost-python1.46.1 set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libstdc++6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libevolution libdrm-nouveau2:i386
libgtkhtml-4.0-common libxxf86vm1:i386 libpst4 bogofilter-bdb
libxcb-glx0:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal:i386 libgtkhtml-4.0-0
libx11-xcb1:i386 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 evolution-common evolution-webcal
libexpat1:i386 libgtkhtml-editor-4.0-0 libxcb1:i386 libxau6:i386
bogofilter-common billiards-bin:i386 libxdmcp6:i386
libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal:i386 linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic bogofilter
linux-headers-3.5.0-23 libxrender1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxdamage1:i386
libgsl0ldbl libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxext6:i386
libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-quantal:i386 libllvm3.1:i386
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

so... clearly nearing something. i should quickly say that i am not a professional linux user, but learning quickly.

question; is libboost-python1.49.0 available somewhere? do i add a repo to sources list to get it?

cheers

Funnily, libboost-python1.49.0 already is a dependency of vegastrike, which should be a dependency of vegastrike-data.

I believe something's amiss with your system.
