I just installed it and it runs. I still have battles to fight with the programming cable, but that's a different story. Many thanks for getting this up and running.<div class="im"><br>

The chirp package is now available in the Ubuntu-hams PPA for all<br>
Ubuntu series except Karmic, which is still building.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-hams/+archive/ppa/" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-<u></u>hams/+archive/ppa/</a><br>
<br>
Information about how to subscribe to this PPA is included at the link.<br>
<br>
The Ubuntu-Hams PPA includes a lot of other ham software which<br>
the ubuntu-hams team backports from the latest release to older<br>
Ubuntu Series. These include chirp, d-rats, fldigi, cqrlog, hamlib, and more.<br>
<br>
If you're using Ubuntu, this PPA is a good source of the latest<br>
package updates.<br>

joining Ubuntu-hams:<br>

Thanks, I'll uninstall and wait on the new package. Let me know when<br>
it's ready and I'll do a test install if you'd like outside confirmation.<br>

OK, I've made some progress in troubleshooting this. The package in<br>
the PPA is just plain broken,<br>
and I suggest you install from the tarball until I can fix it, and<br>
don't use the PPA. In fact, I'm<br>
going to delete the broken package from the PPA.<br>
<br>
The package installs the modules to the wrong directory, putting them<br>
in /usr/share instead<br>
of in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-<u></u>packages<br>
<br>
So I understand the problem, but I can't fix the packaging right away<br>
because I'm traveling for<br>
the rest of today. I can probably fix it by Monday.<br>
<br>
The reason this didn't fail on the machine I'm on now is that the<br>
files in the right location were<br>
left over from a previous release which I had installed manually and<br>
forgotten was even installed<br>
(i.e. I thought this was a clean machine). I'm sorry for the problems<br>
caused by the bad package,<br>
but thanks for the help in tracking this down.<br>

start python and type the next two lines into the python interpreter<br>

Actually, I saw this same problem in the preliminary packaging that<br>
I've been working on, but I haven't tracked down the problem. I'll<br>
have another look.<br>

I was running the exact same version on this 10.04 machine, and it was<br>
working.<br>
I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine after that, too.<br>
So I'm not sure<br>
what's going on.<br>

Okay.<br>
<br>
Steve, is it possible that the package isn't installing the module in<br>
the right place on 10.04 to get picked by chirpw?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
