I got the application installed correctly, but now I'm seeing this when I try to run it from the commandline:

[laura@cleopatra ~]$ whale
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/whale", line 16, in ?
from whale import Whale
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/whale/__init__.py", line 11, in ?
from Whale import Whale
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/whale/Whale.py", line 12, in ?
from xml.dom import Node, ext
ImportError: cannot import name ext
[laura@cleopatra ~]$

Does anyone know what this means? The application is written in python and uses pyperl. I installed pyperl successfully, and have an acceptable version of python installed - I just don't know what else it wants. Google is no help at all...

Thanks in advance!

Did you install 2.3,and what distro?

Version 2.3 of what? Python, perl, something I'm missing?

And Slack 9.0 -

No, I had version 0.2. and there seems to be no make uninstall, so I'm stuck with it. On the grounds that I couldn't really screw anything up more than it already is, I downloaded 0.2.3 and installed that over top of 0.2.

Result: same error message, although now it's on line 23 instead of 16, and on 13 rather than 12 :-)

Random question - this wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that although I have the gnome libraries installed, I don't actually *use* gnome...would it?

I just tried to install it and it is old,it uses python 2.2.I would try to find something else.
