Comment by dbd...@gmail.com:

I came to "How to install" expecting something a little less terse.
However, you say it is not yet executable under Slackware. I am running a
Slackware-based version of Puppy Linux, but since it is not yet on
Slackware, I guess I'm out of luck. Yet you also suggest that any linux
might run a non-installed version from source. Since, though I have 48+
years of computing experience comprising Fortran, COBOL, C, various
assemblers, SNOBOL, PERL, TCL/TK, etc., I am not a Python user. The command
is too terse. It suggests that Pychess source must be placed in a path
somewhere under /lib. Is that true? Is that the only thing need be done to
run from source under Slackware? Or is that 'run-under-source' only true
for those versions for which run-after-compile has been tested and found OK?

If you have dependencies installed, you just have to download the .tar.gz
(http://code.google.com/p/pychess/downloads/list). Unpack it somewhere.
Then run it with this command:

PYTHONPATH=lib/ python pychess

It's a Python program, so no compile step needed.

On CentOS 6

yum install pychess

Dont work. Is there a repo I can add to the repolist to make it work?
Installing rpms from the downloads section dont work as some dependency
gets missed each time.

@asser2000, the dependencies are listed in the INSTALL file. Can you please
write what error message you got?

Maybe some libraries are missing for the dependencies that I have used.

Hello. I am trying to install pychess on Centos 6.6. I tried from source,
installed all dependencies, and no luck running it. Then after that, i did
download the files:
http://www.pychess.org/download/pychess-0.12rc3-1.py26.noarch.rpm
http://www.pychess.org/download/pychess-0.10.1-1.noarch.rpm

Installed with command (as root): yum install <file>

With any of those i get the following output when trying to run:

[henderb@powerinside ~]$ pychess
argparse library not found, so thread debugging will be turned off
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pychess", line 99, in <module>

MSK 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[henderb@powerinside ~]$ python -V
Python 2.6.6

In short, the error is always: *"AttributeError: 'module' object has no
attribute 'InfoBar'"*

Please help: What more can i do to be able to run it?

Comment by gbtami:

http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkinfobar.html say:
gtk.InfoBar — report important messages to the user (new in PyGTK 2.22)

Maybe Centos 6.6 PyGTK version is too old.
