The installation instructions include the following:
Code: Select all
install dependencies for CentOS 7
for CentOS version 7 PyQwt is not available in standard and EPEL repositories: --> build from source Download PyQwt5 sources from https://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pyqwt/pyqwt5/PyQwt-5.2.0/PyQwt-5.2.0.tar.gz
My assessment is that this is the proposed approach to address the complications that you refer to.
I have followed those instructions and they appear to complete without error; yet when I try to start Process Explorer, Qwt cannot be found, so clearly something is wrong.
I'm wondering if there might be some basic troubleshooting that I could try on the above instructions first?
For instance, when I logon on as root, I just downloaded the archive into home\downloads; but is this what I'm supposed to do?
Or if I logon as root, is it expected that I would download the PyQwt archive into some other "system" directory?
Also, might be there some search path that might need to be updated for the PyQwt installation?
I'm just wondering if there are some relatively 'simple' checks that I might be able to do here?
It is unfortunate that it doesn't appear possible to contact the developer, but he clearly understood (as you have stated) that PyQwt was not available in the standard and EPEL repositories and proposed a resolution.
My feeling is that the answer is in front of me, but that the developer has possibly made some assumptions when installing software as root - which I'm not aware of.
