Greetings!
I''ve been trying to get virt-manager running on AMD64 Ubuntu 6.10, both
virt-manager-0.2.5 and libvirt-0.1.8 compile and install successfully
but I cant run virt manager, I get some seeingly simple error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 104, in ?
from virtManager.engine import vmmEngine
File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 33,
in ?
from virtManager.create import vmmCreate
File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 25,
in ?
import virtinst
ImportError: No module named virtinst
The libvert libraries are in /usr/local/lib, and similar
under /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages.
Im a python noob, and have tried updating the PYTHONPATH to include
these to folders explicity, also adding the following to
virt-manager.py :
sys.path.append(''/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages'')
sys.path.append(''/usr/local/lib'')
None of this seem to make any difference. Im sure there will be other
problems, but this seems such a basic problem - I just dont know how to
fix it.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks.
andy

The mercurial repo is here: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel Or you can get the tar.gz from the src.rpm files in FC6.

Thanks for that Dan, I downloaded the source RPM, but there isn''t a clue on how to install it - I''m a python noob, so any advice on where to put the .py''s would be great! thanks andy On 02/11/06, Daniel P.

Thanks Dan, original error now gone,
However I now get the following which looks like it could be a 64bitness
problem, after running ''virt-manager'' I get:-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 61, in ?
import gtk
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py",
line
48, in ?
from gtk import _gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1,
in ?
from _cairo import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined
symbol: Py_InitModule4_64
---------
I''ve checked installed cairo libs; I have libcairo2 &
libcairo2-dev,
libcairo-directfb as well as python-cairo/python-cairo-dev all to no
avail.
Again stumped,
andy.
