Category: configuring/installing Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bob_Toxen (bob_toxen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Missing Japanese Initial Comment: I am attempting to install the latest Mailman from Source Forge. I have not specified any language but am hoping to get English. The "make install" failed with an error message similar to "cannot import japanise.SOMETHING" in the /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py file. I commented that line of misc/paths.py out (and also lines relating to korean anticipating problems there) and repeated "make install", which succeeded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO I understand that it comes from "import japanese" in paths.py, and I'm guessing that this came from the 'import paths' in bin/update, but I'd really like to know if you have a $prefix/pythonlib (where $prefix appears in your case from #1749432 to be /usr/local/mailman), and if you do, does it contain directories japanese/ and korean/, and if not, what did 'make install' say when it tried to build these? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob_Toxen (bob_toxen) Date: 2007-07-06 18:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1838295 Originator: YES OS: GNU Linux (Mandreva 2007) with nothing special or unique Python 2.4.1 The exact error message is the one that Python generates when the line: import japanese is encountered on line 56 of file /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py because there is no japanese.* file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-07-06 17:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO If you tell us what your OS is and what your Python version is and exactly what error occurred and where, we may be able to help debug this. If you wish to follow up, the best place is the mailman-users@python.org list <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>. I can tell you that configure and make install work for most people, but there have been reports of problems with some systems, but there is not enough information in this report for us to figure out what the problem is in this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1749431&group_id=103
