Problem installing docutils with --prefix
2010-03-31 23:15:07 GMT
Hi,
I'm not sure the reason, but when I tried to install docutils recently, it didn't install the necessary Roman module (I believe this may have been because I was running setup.py with the --prefix option enabled, since I didn't have write privileges to the default python site_packages directory on the machine I was using). I was able to get docutils running by just manually copying over the 'extras' dir to the directory I wanted to install to (and then adding _that_ directory to my Pythonpath), but I'm curious whether this was just the result of a mistake on my part, or if it's a genuine bug. I'm using the latest version of Docutils and Python 2.5, if that makes a difference.
(I'm not subscribed to the mailing list, so I'd appreciate being CCed on any replies)
Thanks,
Colin Morris

You are using a pretty old version of docutils. It's up to 0.6 now and
that's 6 months older than the current snapshot. Maybe you should
upgrade?
