[Twisted-Python] Installation assistance needed
Can anyone point me to instructions for installation on RedHat 9? I can't find any real installation instructions. What am I supposed to do with a 'spec' file? Does an rpm package exist somewhere? I feel defeated before I've started. Alfred
I suggest you just install it from the source. Just one line command: python setup.py install If you really feel like a rpm is necessary, I built one for twisted 1.1.0 before, and it's available at http://dharma.cis.upenn.edu/dist/Twisted-1.1.0-1tummy.i386.rpm HTH -- Yun On Sun, 22 Feb 2004, Alfred Salton wrote:

You don't need an RPM. Just download the tar ball, unpack it, and follow the ./INSTALL directions. Alfred Salton wrote:

Norman, The ./INSTALL instructions are for a Debian apt-get installation only, unless I missed something. There is a reference to a .spec file, for rpm-based systems, but that is all. Sorry, I'm an application developer, not a system administrator. This is one area where improved documentation is needed. The 'python setup.py install' command is obvious, in hindsight, but if widespread adoption is a goal, nothing is ever 'obvious'. On Feb 24, 2004, at 1:12 PM, Norman B. Young wrote:

You did.

I've changed the INSTALL file to be more clear. It *did* tell you to use setup.py install, but in a confusing context. -- Twisted | Christopher Armstrong: International Man of Twistery Radix | Release Manager, Twisted Project ---------+ http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/
