Has anyone sucessfully installed Entertainer? (http://www.entertainer-project.com/). I seem to be in dependency HELL, and saw a post via google about it possibly being added to the AUR or official pacman repo's but that activity seems to be idle. Anyone?

Sorry I am not nice today.

Beats me as well !!

But on topic: What dependency hell are you going into? Can you post the output of the commands that you tried in order to install it?

I could try to install it later tonight and see if I can make a PKGBUILD.

One thing though: I like the KISS principle. So I cannot for the life of me understand why they need a weather applet in an entertainer (music/movies) app. Photographs I can understand to a certain extent.

I just am having trouble satisfying dependencies, error output is as such:

[mikeyd@mikeyd-laptop entertainer-0.1]$ cd src/
[mikeyd@mikeyd-laptop src]$ ls
Makefile entertainer-backend.py entertainer-log-viewer.py entertainer-tray-icon.py tests
__init__.py entertainer-content-management.py entertainer-messagebus-notifier.py frontend tools
backend entertainer-frontend.py entertainer-preferences.py pylintrc utils
[mikeyd@mikeyd-laptop src]$ ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[mikeyd@mikeyd-laptop src]$ make
cd tests; python2.5 run_tests.py

make: *** [test] Error 127

You might want to take out the python2.5 command or whatever that pesky thing is, and try with a generic 'python' call.

Python is at 2.6 as we speak, on Arch. Specifying one specific version without good reason is bad programming practice - and I don't know anything about programming; yet that, I do.

how do I go about calling that generic line?

/bin/sh: python2.5: command not found

What should one do with that?
