I've been using disksearch with some other linux distros I'd previously used and have built a nice database of all my archived cds & dvds. The program is at < http://disksearch.sourceforge.net/ >I created a deb file from a rpm package that I found since I was unable to find a deb file when I ran Mepis on this laptop. I'm running a frugal install so I converted it to dsl using the deb2dsl script. It encountered some python errors when I tried to run it so I enabled apt and added the following repositories to my sources.lst deb < http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian > sarge linex deb < http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian > woody linex I ran apt-get install python2.3-glade2 and also apt-get install python-numeric and was able to run disksearch after that. I then ran deb2dsl and coverted those deb files in the cache to a dsl file. I rebooted and added the new file to mydsl and encountered python errors again. I then had to repeat the apt-get install process to run disksearch. I attempted the deb2dsl process a couple of more times with no luck in successfully running the program w/o running apt-get every reboot. I'd be forever grateful if someone could get a working dsl file of this app or help me fix the problem! Posted by cbagger01 on Jan. 03 2006,11:49
Does the python 2.3 tar.gz extension from the myDSL system repository work?

I've tried the python.uci from the repository but haven't tried the tar.gz. I'll give it a try sometime today and post back.

Nope, didn't work. I still need to apt-get the same packages for it to work. Here's a link to download the disksearch.dsl & the necessary deb files to get it to work < ftp://dsl:dsl@plinej.no-ip.org > There are also some other dsl apps that I made from deb files that are there and seem to work fine on my system. Any of you smart fellars wanna give it a shot? |
