Hi Johannes
Are those both regular directories? In a normal install of python, both should be there, and /usr/lib/python should be a symlink to /usr/lib/python2.4.
Of course you are right. I wasn't thinking clear with so many hiccups during the gnome install. Now 'prt-get depinst --install-scripts gnome' is done. But I got stuck with howl. There is no such script in /etc/rc.d jaeger.morpheus.net/linux/crux/repos/gnome/howl/ is empty... I found a cached backup on Google: #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/howl: start/stop howl daemons # case $1 in start) /usr/bin/nifd /usr/bin/mDNSResponder -f /usr/etc/mDNSResponder.conf ;; stop) killall -q /usr/bin/nifd killall -q /usr/bin/mDNSResponder ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 2 $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]" ;; esac # End of file The script points to non-existant directories, so clearly something is missing or howl is just obsolete. --theo (confused)
