Hi, I know that you already showed to me what I should do now and that I should be able to walk with my own legs, but I don't know what argument I should use in 'python setup.py install'. The available options are: Options for 'install' command: --prefix installation prefix --exec-prefix (Unix only) prefix for platform-specific files --home (Unix only) home directory to install under --user install in user site-package '/home/lamps/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages' --install-base base installation directory (instead of --prefix or -- home) --install-platbase base installation directory for platform-specific files (instead of --exec-prefix or --home) --root install everything relative to this alternate root directory --install-purelib installation directory for pure Python module distributions --install-platlib installation directory for non-pure module distributions --install-lib installation directory for all module distributions (overrides --install-purelib and --install-platlib) --install-headers installation directory for C/C++ headers --install-scripts installation directory for Python scripts --install-data installation directory for data files --compile (-c) compile .py to .pyc [default] --no-compile don't compile .py files --optimize (-O) also compile with optimization: -O1 for "python -O", -O2 for "python -OO", and -O0 to disable [default: -O0] --force (-f) force installation (overwrite any existing files) --skip-build skip rebuilding everything (for testing/debugging) --record filename in which to record list of installed files --install-layout installation layout to choose (known values: deb, unix) Since 'python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' gives me these directories: lamps@ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ cd / lamps@ubunteira:/$ python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' ['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages'] I tried installing with sudo python setup.py install -f --home /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6, and also setting this --home parameter to /usr/lib/python2.6, installation runs OK, but virt-manager still not launching. I'll reboot the machine, just in case. =] <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 4:54 PM, Cole Robinson <<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On 02/15/2011 02:18 PM, Bruno Lamps wrote: > Running from outside the virtinst directory: > > lamps@ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ cd / > lamps@ubunteira:/$ python -c 'import virtinst; print virtinst' > <module 'virtinst' from '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/__init__.pyc'> > > Running python setup.py install --prefix=/usr and trying to launch > virt-manager resulted in the same error message, but using "PYTHONPATH=..." to > launch virt-manager works!

Is it > possible to make some sort of workaround? =] </div>You should be able to mess with setup.py install arguments to install virtinst into /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6, which is where ubuntu seems to store things, or some other place in the default python path. See python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' to see all the place python looks for modules on your system. See python setup.py install --help to see available install options. - Cole <div class="im"> > > > On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 4:12 PM, Cole Robinson <<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a> </div><div><div></div><div class="h5">> <mailto:<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a>>> wrote: > > On 02/15/2011 01:59 PM, Bruno Lamps wrote: > > Hi, > > > > There's a thread with this same title, in this list, from august 2010.
