Error: OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.

[Gallaecio]

Hi, I'm trying to package OpenShot for Chakra GNU/Linux, but it get this output when running it:

Code: Select all

--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.2.2)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 4966.  Creating new pid lock file.
-------------------------------------------------------
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



I do the packaging through this command:

Code: Select all

python setup.py install --prefix=/usr --root="$pkgdir"

And then it's moved to the actual /usr.

This kind of error output has been reported in the Forums several times. All the topics I read talked about a missing symlink, but I have those files:

Code: Select all

[chaves@afonsox openshot]$ ls /usr/lib/*libmlt*
/usr/lib/libmlt.so    /usr/lib/libmlt.so.0.5.10    /usr/lib/libmlt.so.2    /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.3
/usr/lib/libmlt++.so  /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.0.5.10  /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2

Hi,
Personally, i don't know Chakra Linux (derivated of Frugalware or Archlinux ? ) .
You should have all the packages who are here (i know it is for Ubuntu but it is the same name, only the version could be different) : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=372
After, what are you version of FFmpeg, melt, frei0r-plugins ?
Thanks

Check your python path:

Code: Select all

echo $PYTHONPATH

If that returns an empty string, then you need to define the python path on your system. On Ubuntu, it would be as below, not sure of the python location on chakra linux.

Code: Select all

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

From Arch Linux, yes

You should have all the packages who are here (i know it is for Ubuntu but it is the same name, only the version could be different) : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=372

I have: x264, ffmpeg, python, pygtk (which must be equal to 'python-gtk2'), (python-)pygoocanvas, goocanvas (which might be equal to 'libgoocanvas3' and 'libgoocanvas-common'), mlt-python-bindings ('python-mlt2', I guess), mlt, frei0r-plugins, sox, librsvg(2-common).

I have not: python-xdg, python-glade2, melt, libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio (I use Jack and Alsa for audio, and I have 'sdl_sound')

After, what are you version of FFmpeg, melt, frei0r-plugins ?

ffmpeg: 24953
frei0r-plugins: 1.1.22
melt: none

Check your python path:

Code: Select all

echo $PYTHONPATH

If that returns an empty string, then you need to define the python path on your system. On Ubuntu, it would be as below, not sure of the python location on chakra linux.

Code: Select all

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

It is empty, but defining it doesn't solve the problem.


Now I'll build the missing dependencies. If after that it still doesn't work, I'll define the variable. Then I'll report back. Thanks both of you

[Gallaecio]

Installing pyxdg did the trick, thanks!

[Cenwen]

Python-glade2 is not necessary for this version (we use now libgtkbuilder instead of libglade.
But Melt is necessairy.
And it is working with Jack without problems ?

[Malo]

Hi.. I've the same error, but i'm on archlinux. Installing pyxdg doesn't solve the problem.. Any suggestion?

[Cenwen]

What give you the previous commands ?

Have you all the dependencies installed ?

Have you jack installed ?
