By thinhla (User), on Fri Jul 8 17:08:50 2005: ADESKLETSError: adesklets process exited [SOLVED].

I install adesklets and when I run it with command adesklets : It returns

Code:

adesklets 0.4.10 (unknown time), on an unknown OS
[gcc 3.4.3 (Mandrakelinux 10.2 3.4.3-7mdk)]
Press TAB for hints.
0 >>>


I am not sure if this is properlu installed but it seems about right without any error when I do ./configure

So i download weather desklet and try to run ./weather.py
It returns a string of error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./weather.py", line 52, in ?
    import adesklets
  File "usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/adesklets/__init__.py", line 36, in ?

  File "usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/adesklets/communicator.py", line 103, in err
adesklets.error_handler.ADESKLETSError: adesklets process exited -

Have you tried the fix suggested at question A.2.2 from the FAQ?

Thanks for reply. I am trying to install in /usr folder. So how do we remove what has installed in system by default? or are we just gonna leave it?

yeah, it did fix the problem. Thanks again. So how do we remove the adesklets the first time it installed by default into /usr/local?

Do as you would for any autotools-based package... Find out for yourself. :mrgreen:

Seriously, here is the usual trick: once you finish the compilation phase for the default prefix /usr/local, just use something like:

Code:


make DESTDIR=/tmp/fake install


Now, the /tmp/fake directory will contain an in-place copy of what was put in your system. Doing, for instance:

Code:


find /tmp/fake | sed 's/\/tmp\/fake//'


Will output the full file list of what was installed. Yours,
