macathena-add won't install because of path

Description

(submitted by Greg Price)

The install failed, though far enough in to make me happy. The point of failure seems to be 

running install_egg_info
Writing /sw/src/fink.build/root-macathena-add-56-1/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/macathena_add-1.0-py2.5.egg-info
error: /sw/src/fink.build/root-macathena-add-56-1/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/macathena_add-1.0-py2.5.egg-info: No such file or directory
### execution of python2.5 failed, exit code 1

, more context below. I haven't touched fink since, so if you ask soon for specific other evidence it should still be there. (Eventually, of course, I'll retry the install, etc.)

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

Apparently on some systems (i.e. Greg's) you have to create the @DESTROOT@/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages path before Python will install into them. It took me a couple of tries, but r67:71 document the process.

(In [75]) If macathena-add and macathena-attach had problems with paths not existing (see #3), then pyhesiodfs probably will too. Also, if things are working right, this should fix #4
