Update orca executable for the recent python dir changes (928 bytes, patch)
2013-09-12 22:19 UTC, Kalev Lember 		committed Details | Review

Description Kalev Lember 2013-09-12 22:19:01 UTC 
I'm trying to run Orca under jhbuild and getting a traceback when orca tries to load its modules. Looks like a fallout from commit 38ee6dcf7ce6b20260c6498b31d31e74d7246680 that moved Orca's python modules from lib64 to lib.

$ jhbuild run orca
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 232477

  • File "/media/build/gnome/bin/orca", line 42 in <module> 
    from orca import debug
ImportError: No module named 'orca' 

... and the orca executable has:

pyexecdir = '${exec_prefix}/lib64/python3.3/site-packages'.replace('${exec_prefix}', '/media/build/gnome')

The modules however are not installed in lib64/python3.3, but lib/python3.3.

Review of attachment 254823 [details] [review]:

And orca can be jhbuilt without weird python foo in the .jhbuildrc. Setting to accepted-commit_now, as "hell yeah!" ain't a status it seems.

THANK YOU!!
