Hi pemasu and other gurus,
dog with a bone at the moment, so I hope I'm not diluting your thread overmuch with my message.
After long last I've taken 666philb's advice and have shifted from Lupu528 to Precise383 to get a range of research applications going, including "CowLog2.0"
http://cowlog.org/download. So now I've frugal-insalled UpupPrecise383, downloaded and installed Python2.7.3 and for the latest Python-qt4, Python-sip debs + dependencies via PPM (all but sip-api-8.1*, but I don't know if I really need to source it out and include it/re-point it).
CowLog is working fine, using mplayer, although I can't get it to also see VLC2.1 properly - the latter downloaded via quickpet.
Anyways, I've downloaded both the devx and the QTlibs (for VLC) as SFS', but my attempts to right-click compile a pet for CowLog2 keeps dropping out. Am I missing a crucial step in this process somewhere? I'm doing this for menu entries, production/maintenance of a research-based puplet for Linux noobs etc etc.
I really want to get this right, as I've been badgering the forum for a few years now with CowLog requests (starting waaaay back with gposil!). If I can't get it sorted, I'll be pestering the PrecisePuppy forum til 2017 with updated requests on the latest pets/sfs' from debs of CowLog, Zotero, R, and Docear. Some pointers please!
Cheers,
Puppyt (the moppet)
* oo-er. After a shutdown and reboot i have these missing dependencies reported: imlib2 PyQt4 Python 2.7.3 sip-api-8.1 - even though CowLog etc is functioning fine with the first 3 libraries(?) certifiably installed. Dud calls somewhere? How might I weed out those mis-cued links? I see Upup Raring has the Python issue un-boaconstricted recently - should I jump ship
