(i'm trying to tack on to the thread closest to my experience)
i've successfully installed mod9.9 on MacOS, but want to have less-mediated Python access, and so am re-installing on Ubuntu. i grabbed modeller_9.9-1_i386.deb, invoked dpkg as recommended:
> sudo env KEY_MODELLER=<myCode> dpkg -i modeller_9.9-1_i386.deb
and the install seemed to work fine.
but then going to .../examples/ and trying to run_tests:
> monk:/usr/share/doc/modeller-9.9/examples> ./run_tests > Entering directory: all-steps > #!/bin/sh -v > mod9.9 search.py > Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> > Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> > Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] > 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback > ... (similar errors for all other scripts)
going thru the archives, you (Ben) say things like: "it needs certain environment variables set first, which python or mod9.9 take care of. "
"... You don't actually need to set *any* of the environment variables you have above"
regarding previous releases, and so i don't want to mess until i have to! i can also go back to the generic Unix version, but thought you must want Ubuntu's .deb option also working?
thanks for your great work,
