(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

So, I tried to run my Tether application, which is supposed to compile node.js on first run. When I tried to ./configure the 'python' directory could not be found. I tried researching to no avail. Is this application not compatible with Puppy Precise Retro 5.7.1? Perhaps I should get pupdial from the library computer if I can still download there. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

Also, after the ./configure I had a env: can't execute 'python': No such file or directory .

I think I am so techtarded that I am colorblind. EDIT: Not quite colorblind. Am having real issues.:




Do I have to mv my Tether folder to wherever 'python' is? I am in way over my head.

Ok you need python.... the chunky solution is the devx but a smaller one is this sfs file

The script MAY want a later python than that but thats what its looking for basically

Actually after a re read...you proably WILL need the DEVX file for compiling...there should be a link for it where you got the main iso from

Tried moving to my-applications. Still can't find 'python' .

Just saw your posts and am in route to library. Thanks Mike.

Will soon figure it out along with how to mark this thread SOLVED. ...I hope

Have you figured you need to click on Mikes pkg?

If you find yourself needing more, here's your file >> devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs

I already downloaded Barry's distro package from ibiblio. Now I am going to click, tickle, and kiss Mike's package. And thanks for the url.

I think Semme python is being used as part of a build package so in this case he would need the devx anyway... not 100% on that but from the info supplied...

@'s a safe bet Mike. And Tech dude, nluug.nl's a much faster mirror from which to *grab* pkgs.

Is the goal here to connect your box to the Internet via mobile phone?

Yes. I am trying to run the Easy Tether app on my phone and the Easy Tether software on my Puppy Precise Retro 5.7.1 so that I can tether my 3G LG, which doesn't exactly promote tethering. It has worked for me on Windows, so I know it will work on the phone end of things. I haven't downloaded the devx.precise.5.7.1.sfs yet, but will work on running my executable application (hopefully) after adding it to the / directory (I think.)

Hmm, thought one was a Samsung?

Not sure if this'll work for the LG, but you can try.

Plug'er in and give it a few seconds, making sure it's wireless "usb tethering" control is active.

Open a shell, or, terminal if you prefer and run: @ the beginning of one of the results, do we have a "usb(number)?"

Might be zero, might be one..

If she exists, good. Run: Is she listed here?

If so, only one cmd to go!

3g LG phone..I have one...its an older model but I just plug it in... wait a few seconds and then run pupdial from the connection whatever.... then use the probe and auto scan.

If thats ok then back in pupdial I use *99***1# as the number and user password as dummy user and password and then connect. Most of these 3g modems use a pretty standard driver and are treat as a modem and as a phone there should be no mode switching needed.
