[SOLVED] PlayOnLinux broken in current

eXpander_ · 06-26-2012, 04:38 PM

Hi,

after upgrading to current I cannot launch Playonlinux anymore, I get following error:

Code:

bash-4.2$ playonlinux 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mainwindow.py", line 31, in <module>
    import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: line 89: python2.6: command not found

Now, I understand that Python 2.7.x was included in the current, but what exactly happened here? Or maybe POL does not support Python 2.7?

Looks like playonlinux explicitly require python2.6. What happens if you create a symlink to python2.7? Otherwise I guess you could try to build a Python 2.6.8 package using the SlackBuild-script from 13.37.

After a quick Google-search it looks like wxpython is the culprit.

I believe "python" is already symlinked to python2.7:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root             9 Jun 26 21:50 python -> python2.7

Well, I guess I have to start using Wine manually then...

I know it's 40 bucks a year, but I can't recommend Crossover Games enough.. If you've got the money to spare, then I'd check it out. With a mix of cxgames and plain ol Wine I've had a pretty good experience gaming on my Slackware box.

You need to recompile wxPython for the new python (and potential other non-core packages)

Ok, that was easy! Thanks! Now it works.
