Slackware :: Installing New Software On Slackware 13 X64 / Especially Python
Mar 26, 2010
I'm now up and running on slackware 13 x64. I have noticed that the version of Python installed was 2.6.2 but there were a lot of bug fixes between this and 2.6.5. What is the best way to get 2.6.5 running on my machine. Do I have to install from source or is anybody aware of any packages that have been released?
Again, I'm not too familiar with package management systems on Slackware as I have always installed from source but this became a bit of a bind recently as updating software to newer versions involved a lot of hard work. Can anybody give me an ideas on the packaging systems available, the best ones to use, and where I can find information about the packages related to the package managers?

So I have patched the 3.2 sources similar to the 3.1.3 sources. I used the slackbuild from 3.1.3 as well. I get to the install of the script and I get this:
Code:
...
running install_egg_info
Writing //tmp/SBo/package-python3/usr/lib64/python3.2/lib-dynload/Python-3.2-py3.2.egg-info
Creating directory /usr/man
Creating directory /usr/man/man1
/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./Misc/python.man
/tmp/SBo/package-python3/usr/man/man1/python3.2.1
cp: cannot stat `Demo': No such file or directory
I can't build Blender anymore without this update.

I try to install Slackware to my IDE hard drive and boot first from Slackware DVD. After I loaded huge.s kernel, and tried to partition the hard drive using fdisk by entering "fdisk /dev/hda", I found out that the partition size is max to 3 Gigs instead of 80 Gigs.
I think the kernel is looking at my boot disk, which is around 3 Gigs. How can I make so that it looks at my IDE drive instead at my boot drive? Is there any manual that shows me how to install Linux from scratch this means I want to wipe out all my hard disk and install Slackware Linux there?

I started a thread asking for advice in the hardware forum. I didn't want to post a duplicate thread, but I was unable to get it moved here, so I'm kindly asking you slackers to help me install the aforementioned driver.

I have been given the task to install slackware 13.1 over windows. I have downloaded and copied slackware 13.1 on to a disk, and rebooted the computer, but i am not getting what all the tutorials have shown. I have been looking for tutorials that specifically instruct me as to how to install slackware 13.1 on to a windows xp. I am not trying to dual run I just simply want to run slackware and slackware only.

I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash in Slackware 13 on a 32 bit machine. Adobe seems to have rpm and deb installers, but there's no TXZ. Normally, tar.gz wouldn't be a problem, but the package they have there only contains a shared library. No installation script, no readme, no nothing. Further, the SlackBuild is for an outdated version, and the installation doesn't work.

I have a problem with the cyrillic and writing in Bulgarian in text files (In the Pidgin I have not problem). I saw that if I install the windows fonts this will resolve the problem, but I can't find slackware package and even source package.

I have just been forced into upgrading my mother board and cpu so now own a x86 cpu and was thinking i would give the x86_64 Slackware a try. I realize that i need to do a reinstall but can i save my /home partition? Will that save my settings or am i asking for problems? I assume i can just drop all of my config files into the new install as well.

It seems there's no support for the KVM virtio modules in the Slackware install kernel.
May I suggest that these be added to the next version of Slackware?
Or am I perhaps missing something?

I'm back to slack after several years. I'd like to install wine. I have downloaded wine-1.1.33.tar.bz2[URL]..I am currently looking at the installation instructions. I would welcome any advice, comments or caveats that might contribute to the installation. In particular, have I made the
correct download? Another example: My preference is that the installation be made to /usr/local, since that directory is on its own partition. Will that introduce any problems?

I'm using Slackware 13.1 and am trying to install KmyMoney from SlackBuilds. For some reason, I get the following compiling error:
Code:
Scanning dependencies of target kmymoney-handbook
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build'
make -f doc-translations/it_kmymoney/kmymoney/CMakeFiles/kmymoney-handbook.dir/build.make doc-translations/it_kmymoney/kmymoney/CMakeFiles/kmymoney-handbook.dir/build
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build'
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build/CMakeFiles
[100%] Generating index.cache.bz2
[Code]...
It seems like this error is related to some handbook or translation documentation? Is there some dependency I'm missing? (There shouldn't be according to SB). Or is there a way I can block compiling this documentation in the build script? I tried commenting out "set -e" in the build script, but the resulting packing wouldn't run after I installed it.

This may sound a bit of an awkward question, but I have this app, Salome-Platform, [URL], It requires Python 2.5 at most to be able to run. (Compiling it is way to complex.) Since the Python of Slackware is 2.6, can it be downgraded to 2.5...? If it can, how do I do it...?

Just installed 13.1 64bit on my laptop. In an effort to keep things slim, I neglected to install the 'D' group....didn't figure I would be doing any developing (call me a literalist). I install Wicd and find that Python is a dependency. What is the easiest way for me to make this happen? Should I just install the python txz or will there be more dependencies that could be solved easier with a script?

I have tried rebuilding pygtk after installing Numpy and ended up making a mess of python. I have it back to functional now, but I would like to know how to properly add numeric python support. I suspect there is a proper order to building all of the python dependencies that yields success. Ultimately I am trying to run mypaint.

Does anybody use openshot in Slackware 13? What I made: I modified the slackbuild script for openshot of Slackbuilds.org for version 1.1.1 and then I made the package and installed it. Of course the dependencies too. But when I start Openshot, I get the following error:
OpenShot (version 1.1.1)
Error: OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)
Use the following command to install OpenShot:
$ sudo python setup.py install

I'm running xbmc on slackware64-13.1 and it's running great. However a python addon script is giving me trouble. The script contains some utf-8 characters, and by default I get an error because coding isn't declared in the script. I've added
Code: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- to the scripts and they will work fine, but they are updated very frequently. I've tried messing around with turning on unicode console and such but I'm a bit in the dark on this. Is there a way I can get slack to handle those scripts without having to edit them every time I update?
