<DIV>Dan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, some of this helps a little.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>>How about this... Do the following and send me the list.txt file:</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> Apt-cache search python > list.txt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did this, and the list appeared in the file, which I have attached to this posting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>>Ah, okay, it looks like you might be running it off of the SD card, is</DIV>
<DIV>>That right? Sometimes because of the way systems mount FAT filesystems</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, right, you are. I was trying to get it all running on the SD card, as there is very limited memory on the PC itself. However, to see if that was the case, I tried what you suggested about moving it to the root/user/ on the main memory.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Cd /home/user/d-rats-0.2.6
<DIV> > ./d-rats</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Which I did try, and....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>If you still get a permission denied error, you might want to do this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> chmod a+x ./d-rats</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>......yes, I did get the permission denied error. I did the chmod, and it then worked!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Which resulted in the following (I still could not get this to pipe to a file):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Traceback (most recent call last):</DIV>
<DIV> File "./d-rats", line 21 un ?</DIV>
<DIV> from d_rats import mainapp, platform</DIV>
<DIV> File "home/user/d-rats-0.2.6/d_rats/mainapp.py", line 27, in ?</DIV>
<DIV> import serial</DIV>
<DIV>ImportError: No module named serial</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did go back to the SD card and tried to change the permissions to allow me to run d-rats there, and it said I did not own the file to be able to change permissions. Really not a big deal, since it looks like I should be fine with the application on the main memory.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>> Unfortunately, I make some (incorrect) assumptions</DIV>
<DIV>>That the linux users can figure things out on their own. However, I'm</DIV>
<DIV>>Always happy to have new people using linux, so I should make more of an</DIV>
<DIV>>Effort to make this process easier.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That was one of the reasons I got the little pc...I wanted to become more literate in Linux., so I do appreciate your efforts.</DIV>
