How to install Miro Internet TV?
Can anyone face making a pet or sfs for Miro? I have tried to get Miro working but I (A newbie.) got stuck compiling python bindings. Which is why I am asking some one to do it for me

Have a look at this debian one.

Tested in Lucid Puppy version 1.1.3 with pfix=ram. Note this not the system I will be using. I will be using Stardust013 [Edit: I do not use this puppy any more. I now use Wary or LHP.] which currently has Pyhton2.5 from the devx sfs so basily Puppy Linux 431 in terms of libs.
Using a link named python2.5 in /usr/bin/ to python2.6 from Python 2.6.4 and the miro_3.0-1_i386.deb from Debian unstable. I got these errors:

Update
Using Pdebthing I have tried to make a package, however I get the same error when I try to run Miro.
There where 4 failed packages it tried to get. They are:
I have uploaded the pet and the packages I built it from and other build bits in a XZ archive. You can get it here: http://batubia.com/j7ei8000ke0x
If you are using newer puppy's then you should have support for XZ in Xarchiver. You might need to install a PET that has the XZ binary and bits in it. I use the PET: "xz-4.999.9beta-i486.pet". If you don't have the XZ support in xarchive then you need my update of "tar-wap.sh" which you can get here: Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - Improving The Wrappers From Xarchive. Its worth updating even in newer puppy's that have a version which has support for XZ, to my improved version of "tar-wap.sh" because it support more formats/file extensions it supports like PET.

What about PenguinTV : podcasts and video blogs for Linux as a Miro replacement? Any one tried it out? If so what do you think of it? Anyone got a PET already, which they can share?

If I did have a idea this thread would be solved . Though I have been thinking of trying again to compile the python bindings Miro needs.
