Hi,

I am trying to make a --onefile executable of my application for
distribution. Version I prepare for Windows works fine; however, linux
version works on a Debian (which is a linux I use for building the
executable) but on Ubuntu or Fedora I get neither expected output, nor
any error. I have now found out that this behaviour I get even with
simple srcipt hello.py that consists only of line "print 'hello,
world!"'.

Same script, when built with pyinstaller on a Ubuntu system, works on
that system but is now silent on Debian.

I am quite confused and any help is welcome.
Actually binaries (with some debugging switched on) are available
here:
http://calculon.phy.hr/pub/hello-deb (pyinstaller on Debian Squeeze)
http://calculon.phy.hr/pub/hello-ubu (pyinstaller on Ubuntu 10.10)

Both systems are amd64, python2.6 and pyinstaller 2.4, and I don't do
anything special, just
python Makespec.py --onefile /path/to/hello.py
python Build.py hello/hello.spec

Thanks.
Kresimir

Let me just follow-up on myself for the benefit of others. After
building the same executable on an older Debian (5.0, lenny) resulting
executable run fine on all Linuxes I tried it on.
