Slackware :: Possible To Downgrade Version Of Python To 2.5?
Oct 26, 2009
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...?
I have installed and configured Slackware 13.1 and it works perfectly. Now I'm going (actually forced) to downgrade kernel version down to 2.6.32. Is there any caveats? Do I need rebuild any other packages from sources?
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
When a real kernel version is upgraded, like say 2.6.32 to 2.6.38, the old kernel is left intact and is ready to be used in case of a problem with a new one, but when only a debian patch version is updated, like 2.6.32-30 to 2.6.32-35, the old kernel is replaced with a new one. More then this, aptitude shows that older version is not in repository either, so how do you supposed to revert back? Well, i did found -30 in apt cache when i got hit by a nasty regression in -35 yesterday, but what if i had cleaned apt cache?
I just upgraded to 10.04, and am quite happy with it so far, but it installed Firefox 3.6, which is a problem for me because I need to be able to use the Jssh plugin, which isn't available for 3.6 yet. All I need to do is downgrade Firefox to 3.5, but I seem to be having some issues, it seems that there is only the one version available to me in Synaptic. Is there another repository that I need to add to have access to an older version?
The output from the first command was "sudo: /ect/init.d/gdm: command not found" How can I downgrade, also is it because im running lucid, not karmic koala?
I am trying to run matlab 7.7 (R2008b) on my ubuntu 9.10 distribution..the thing is that I am totally new with both matlab and linux and I get the following error message from matlab when I try to run an example mex-function:
Warning: You are using gcc version "". The earliest gcc version supported with mex is "4.0.0". The latest version tested for use with mex is "4.2.0". To download a different version of gcc, visit [URL] eval: 1: gcc: Permission denied mex: compile of ' "yprime.c"' failed. Error using ==> mex at 213 Unable to complete successfully.
I had gcc-4.4 as default on my pc, so after this error I downloaded an older version (gcc-4.1) and removed with rm the symbolic link in /usr/bin pointing to gcc-4.4 and created a new one pointing to gcc-4.1. Now when I type gcc -v in the terminal it says that gcc is in the packages gcc and pentium-builder, to do an apt-get install. I tried that but than it says that gcc-4.1 is already the newest version. It seems that I have multiple versions of gcc installed but neither the terminal nor matlab can find them.
I need to know what version of python I am running. I am running ubuntu 10.04 and am going to be downloading wxpython but need to know what version of python I am running.In php there is a built in command phpinfo() that tells you everything you need to know about your installation of php, does python have something like this?Also, learned of python 2.7 today, I am currently learning python and am wondering if i should go ahead and upgrade or wait??
I want to install OpenERP software which requires python 2.5 ,but my fedora 11 is having the python 2.6 installed by default, how can I downgrade the python 2.6 to 2.5 version. Also I need to know which version of yum is compatible with python 2.5 version.
When I first did my install of Slackware 13.37, I installed the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /testing.
I did a "upgradepkg testing/kernel*.t?z"
Well just now I realized that there was a kernel-headers package in /testing, and I've heard that you should only use the kernel headers that glibc was compiled with.
So did I make a mistake installing the kernel-headers from /testing?
And if I revert back to the stock kernel-headers package, will I have to recompile all the programs I've compiled with the 2.6.38.4 headers?
I need to add python2.6 to RHEL55/SL55 that is based on python2.4.3 to utilize the full functionality of another program. Since I already killed one system by replacing the default python version (previous tread), I asked developers how to safely enable already installed 2.6 without crashing the system. Here is the You could install 'python26' from EPEL[1], presumably this does not break /usr/bin/python since it installs the new version as /usr/bin/python2.6.
I have debian SID,my repository has libapache2-mod-python version 3.3.1-9+b1 and python 2.6.6-6 No, i configured my apache and restarted my apache, but i saw following errors in the apache's log file:
[Sat Oct 30 15:14:06 2010] [error] python_init: Python version mismatch, expected '2.6.5+', found '2.6.6'. [Sat Oct 30 15:14:06 2010] [error] python_init: Python executable found '/usr/bin/python'. [Sat Oct 30 15:14:06 2010] [error] python_init: Python path being used '/usr/lib/python2.6/:/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2:/u
i can't downgrade my python and my libapache2-mod-python is last version.
I need to know how to make a program use a version of python older than the newest one. I am trying to run the Traipse fork of OpenRPG. Through their forums, I have learned that one of my problems is that I am running too new a version of python. I have python 2.7.1 installed.
I also have python2.6.6 installed, so I should be able to use that. My first thought was to uninstall 2.7.1 and just use the older version. The problem is that if i uninstall 2.7.1, it wants to also uninstall all the packages dependent on that program. Let's face it, in Natty Narwhal, that is pretty much everything.
Do you know how to force Traipse make it use the 2.6 version?
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?
how you change the default version of python in Lucid. Lucid comes packaged with 2.6 but we use 2.5 where I work. I didn't see much of anything on the web for this topic so figured I'd post something. If you are installing python2.5 on Lucid version 10.04 (comes package with 2.6 only)
I installed a newer version of python in /usr/local/bin/python2.6. Now I want to use that python and only that one. When I type "Which python", I want to see /usr/local/bin/python2.6, NOT /usr/bin/python, which is old one (2.4). Also, I want to see the same even after I reboot. How do I do that?
When i try to run pitivi i get the following message and it closes down. "Install a version of the GStreamer Python bindings greater or equal to 0.10.19" without the quotes.What do I need to do? Where is the deb package for gstreamer needed?
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.
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.
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
