all redhat-config won't run

xhliu · 08-07-2006, 09:02 AM

Dear all:
My redhat-config-* recently won't run. When I run them in a terminal, it constantly reports some 'import error', saying this or that module not found. Since I know little about python, I can not figure out what the problem is. Whether there is something telling python where to find these modules? If this is the case, how to RESETUP these parameters? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I am using RHWS3.

Hi xhliu ...Is this a problem with a configuration program? Are you trying to run python? If you can tell us what you are trying to do (as opposed to which program is having problems) it might help.

This sounds like missing libraries or insufficient permissions or something but we need more of that magical elixer - information!

If you have an error message - post it! (copy/paste)

Have fun

The following messages are what I get(login as root):

And so on......

This does look like either a permission issue or a pathing issue. The python sys.exit(0) is a standard call (assuming sys has been imported. Somthing failed in that process.

try from the cl:

Code:

#python
>>>import sys
>>>sys.exit(0)

should leave you at the command line ...

I tried what you said, and it just exit the python env and left me at the cmd line.
If it do be a pathing problem, how to solve it? Thanks a lot.

Solved! I copied the /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages directory in another PC with the same OS version to my PC. And it worked! Anyway,thank you twohats.
