This sort of thing may +be your only choice because 1) a package has not yet been made for your +OS or distribution, 2) the packaged version is obsolete, or 3) you want +to try a daily build. + + +For Debian, Ubuntu, and related systems, the following packages are required: +python +python-gtk2 +python-libxml2 +python-libxslt1 +python-serial +python-suds (optional) +python-support + +For Redhat, Fedora, CentOS and related systems, the following packages +are required: (This list is incomplete. Please submit corrections.) +python +pygtk2 +libxml2-python +python-libxslt + +For openSUSE, the following packages are required: +python +python-gtk +python-pyserial +python-libxml2 +libxslt-python +python-suds-jurko + +Once these packages are installed, you can run Chirp directly from the +distribution directory by typing "./chirpw". If you want to install it +properly, type this: + + sudo python setup.py install --record files.txt + +This will install the package and create a list of files that were +added to your system. If you want to deinstall Chirp, type this: + + sudo xargs -0 rm -rf < files.txt + +This will cause rm(1) to take its list of arguments from the file named +"files.txt" and remove those files from the system. If you forgot to +create "files.txt", you can simply reinstall the way it is shown here +and continue on your way. + +Note: This will not uninstall directories created by the installation of +Chirp. Presence of these empty directories shouldn't be a problem, but +if they are, it's easy to go through the files.txt file, identify them, +and remove them. + |
