[resolved] Mypaint deb for Jaunty 9.04 ?

[Deevad]

Hello,

I have a real problem when I try to install the deb package of Mypaint on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.
I have the button inactive and still grey. I can't install one of my favorite software, please help !

Don't worry you can still install it from sources, it's not too hard
Type these commands in a Terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libglib2.0-dev python-numpy swig scons
wget http://download.gna.org/mypaint/mypaint-0.7.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf mypaint-0.7.0.tar.bz2
cd mypaint-0.7.0
sudo scons prefix=/usr/local install
rm -r mypaint-0.7.0*

EDIT: I updated the commands for compiling version 0.7.0 of MyPaint

Once you successfully compiled and installed MyPaint, you can find its launcher in Application -> Graphics -> MyPaint as usual
Good luck

(PS, I edit the topic title to mark it as "resolved" )

Hi. I have it fixed now, but it took me 5+ hours of searching forums, and actually, I'm not sure which thing fixed it. The original question was "why is the install box grayed out when you download and try use the package manager" If this one button would have worked it would have saved me nearly an entire day of work.

Is there a good answer as to why? Forget the work-arounds, and endless python libraries to install, why the heck didn't the deb file work in the package manager in the first place?

I'd rather know how to get the button fixed. If my next kernel update flakes, or compiz decides rendering a screen of garbage is preferable to painting the UI, I will not go through what I did to get this program to work again after a reinstall.

Thanks for your help!

wget http://download.gna.org/mypaint/mypaint-0.7.0.tar.bz2

rm -r mypaint-0.7.0*

Hi,
I see the 0.7.1 release today , and I asked to myself how to install it if I installed the 0.7 with this code above.
I prefer ask for the better way to update cause I don't want to have error, or a bad buggy over copy of the previous version.
( still Ubuntu Jaunty here  ) Thanks !

The better way for upgrading is downloading and compiling the new source code. Type these commands into a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libglib2.0-dev python-numpy swig scons
wget http://download.gna.org/mypaint/mypaint-0.7.1.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf mypaint-0.7.1.tar.bz2
cd mypaint-0.7.1
sudo scons prefix=/usr/local install
cd ..
rm -r mypaint-0.7.1*

and you should have the latest version of MyPaint.

Oh thanks  ! that's very simple with that piece of code !
( sorry to reply only now, I think I forgeted to answer on the moment )

Hello,
I installed Mypaint on two of my machines ubuntu 9.04 - I was using it for a one week already when by mistake I used Janitor to delete mypaint from one of them.

so I went to istall it again, and while installing via terminal I am getting this message -
Saved options:

scons: warning: The Options class is deprecated; use the Variables class instead.
File "/home/terminal name/mypaint-0.7.0/SConstruct", line 32, in <module>

scons: building terminated because of errors.


by the way debian install does not result in working program - please note I am new to linux etc :
when I enter 'mypaint' in terminal I get -

We are not correctly installed or compiled!
script: "/usr/local/bin/mypaint"
deduced prefix: "/usr/local/bin"
lib_shared: "/usr/local/share/mypaint/"
lib_compiled: "/usr/local/lib/mypaint/"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mypaint", line 54, in <module>
    from lib import mypaintlib
ImportError: No module named lib

thanks in advance

ps
I really like this program - I wrote about it here http://dariocaballeros.blogspot.com/

uff - after playing around I went to system/administration/synaptic package manager and removed any and all mypaint from this machine - after that I used your source code for mypaint 0.7.1 again et voila -it is working fine -
thanks again
