i d/l'ed point2play v1.1.1 and installed it using portage.. when i tried to run it, i got the following python error messages.. since i don't know anything about python scripting, i decided not to tinker with the scripts mentioned.. i've dug around on Transgaming's Forums, searched Gentoo's forums, and read all the documentation on Point2Play that was provided...

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2Play_gui.py", line 1464, in ?
    feg = Point2Play_gui( Point2Play.Point2Play( config_file ) )
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2Play.py", line 239, in __init__
    self.tests = tests.tests()
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/tests.py", line 65, in __init__
    exec('import ' + file[0:-3])
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/tests/test_sound.py", line 15, in ?
    import ossaudiodev
ImportError: No module named ossaudiodev


CPU=AMD Athlon 500mHz
RAM=256 mb
SOUND MODULE=es1371
VIDEO=3dfx Voodoo 3

any help would be appreciated..

LOL Lordnothing.. I see you're in here too. Anyhow... check out my posts in the winex forums. I'm having the same trouble and I'm trying to work to get SOMETHING going, anything.

As it stands right now I can't even get wordpad to run in winex, so I'm not to awfully impressed...

I was thinking a newer version of python might be necessary but I can't seem to get 2.3.1 to install..

here's where it dies
Quote:
/bin/install -c -m 644 Modules/Setup.config /var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Setup.config
/bin/install -c ./Modules/makesetup /var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/lib/python2.3/config/makesetup
/bin/install -c ./install-sh /var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/lib/python2.3/config/install-sh
./python -E ./setup.py install \
--prefix=/var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr \
--install-scripts=/var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/bin \
--install-platlib=/var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload \ --install-scripts=/var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/bin
invalid command name ' --install-scripts=/var/tmp/portage/python-2.3.1/image/usr/bin'
make: *** [sharedinstall] Error 1

!!! ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.3.1 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 69, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


FWIW I made the ebiuld myself by copyingover the latest python ebuild and trying that. FWIW it just looks like we're missing this python module.. hopefully one of us will get it figured out soon!!

I'll let ya know what I run into..

uhm.... I have looked there, but it is not that easy to find. Or I am just being stupid :roll:.

although my problem is not exactly the same, but rather
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_point2play/Point2Play_gui.py", line 34, in ?
    raise Point2PlayError( _("Unable to load GTK2 Python bindings") + "(%s)" % str( sys.exc_info()[1] ) )
__main__.Point2PlayError: 'Unable to load GTK2 Python bindings(No module named gtk)'


Linking is good :twisted:

Thanks

I'm looking for the answer, too. Haven't used Point2Play in a few weeks, and when I tried to run it tonight, I got the same error. Can't find the answer in the transgaming forums so far.

Phlashback, looks like you need to emerge pygtk. That should hopefully fix the problem. :D

Hope that helps.

I tried that last night :cry:.

I am wondering if it is a problem in python 2.3.2 (using r2). It did work, but I havn't done any gaming in a while so I am not sure what broke.

Once again living on the edge slaps me in the face. :wink:

I figured it out...

after reading pythons changelog i found (ok I should have looked their first) that with the upgrade from 2.2 you need to run

Code:
/usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater


from masked 2.3 packages it would be
Code:
/usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater -o 2.3


now its all good
Thanks, and I hope this helps
