Problem installing on Fedora 14

[Jorge Saturno]

Hi, I have installed all the dependencies required for fedora 14 but there was some errors on the installation:

Problem with importing my_globals. Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/sofastats/setup.py", line 80, in <module>

    import my_globals as mg # has translated text

  File "/usr/share/sofastats/my_globals.py", line 541, in <module>

    config_globals.import_dbe_plugins() # as late as possible because uses local

  File "/usr/share/sofastats/config_globals.py", line 86, in import_dbe_plugins

    import lib

  File "/usr/share/sofastats/lib.py", line 14, in <module>

    import wxmpl

  File "/usr/share/sofastats/wxmpl.py", line 28, in <module>

    from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg

ImportError: No module named backend_wxagg

What can I do?

Thanks

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for letting me know. I suspect it is something to do with either the matplotlib or wxpython installations. I have just tested SOFA 1.0.6 on Fedora 14 and it worked so there must be a way. Just for future reference, here are the packages which must be installed for Fedora 14:

• Python was already there
• wxPython-2.8.11… and that brought with it some other packages needed.
• numpy-1:1.4.1…
• python-sqlite2-1:2.3.5…
• MySQL-python-1.2.3…
• PyGreSQL-3.8.1…
• python-matplotlib-1.0.0…

And presumably you started SOFA with start.py not setup.py.

I would suggest checking the installations again.


All the best, Grant

OK. since I run Fedora 15 and I have a bare bones computer here goes. As root:

#yum install wxPython numpy python-sqlite MySQL-python PyGreSQL python-matplotlib

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that. Rather than doing a clean install I ran the same yum command as you on my existing fedora 14 test installation and upgraded those libraries were prompted. It then failed as described by yourself and Jorge.

See attached image to see what was upgraded (sorry it is an image but I had trouble copying and pasting the terminal out of VirtualBox). It looks like either the wxPython or matplotlibe upgrades are the culprit. I can't look into this right now but please let me know if you make any progress.


All the best, Grant

Hi Jorge,

I have found the answer. Try

yum install python-matplotlib-wx

The answer was in:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5986780/unable-to-import-figurecanvaswxagg-from-matplotlib-in-python

I will update the documentation soon.

All the best, Grant
