[SOLVED] Problem installing aafm

Hi,

I'm trying to install aafm (https://github.com/sole/aafm). So which packages do I need when I'm advised to install "Python with PyGTK bindings, GTK [and] git"?

In aafm's installation README I've reached the point where I'm told to run "./aafm-gui.py". Doing this yields the message:

/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory

I thought I had python installed, but I guess I don't. Which packages do I need to install?

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

The aafm start command :
'cd Applications/aafm/src/ && python aafm-gui.py'

Works OK in Ubuntu 11.10, 32bits.

.

Thanks, I can now run it!

The funny thing is I already had python-gtk2 installed; with the command you give here, it works, though the original command in the aafm README, " ./aafm-gui.py " doesn't. I'm not sure but I think the essential part of your suggestion is the same as the option given also in the README,

Or simply execute it using Python:
python ./aafm-gui.py

which I didn't even try because I somehow thought it wouldn't work if the " ./aafm-gui.py" didn't..

There are good reasons for './aafm-gui.py' not to work :

aafm-gui.py, line 1 says "python2" and your python is /usr/bin/python
