Providing more information on the problems you are experiencing might get you better help.

Formatting your post with punctuation instead of one long rambling sentence will often help too. If you're not willing to make an effort to clearly explain yourself, why should others be expected to make a double effort to understand you?

It's a noted error. It's also a weird error. It got fixed for me magically after doing a lot of nothing. It can't find a file that's inside the same folder as the script at that time.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/childsplay", line 29, in <module>
    import childsplay_sp.utils as utils
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/childsplay_sp/utils.py", line 35, in <module>

    import SPBasePaths
ImportError: No module named SPBasePaths

To answer your question I use spell-check for spelling but I can't find a program for punctuation.
I'm very sorry if my post upset you so much but punctuation is not a consideration when you are dyslexic.
I forgot people like you can only read correct punctuation. check your own
I forgot to put the link to my question http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16397 in the original post.

Sorry, but placing a full stop at the end of a point is not difficult; that improves readability considerably.

I don't know much about dyslexic persons but his point is to say that it *is* difficult for him. Are you suffering from something too so that you can't understand this ? No offense really but seriously, he's not doing this on purpose.

Anyway, communication and personal problems aside, back to the problem the OP is experiencing...?

majiq · 2009-09-11 06:23:12

I know, a week later, but I've been busy.

Solution: In the PKGBUILD, add '-L' to the cp third from bottom just before the -R. The problem is that the cp command just copies the link in the source folder and doesn't actually create the file. The PKGBUILD ought to use install (I think), which might avoid this, though.

So here's the revised PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Jakob Nixdorf <jakob.nixdorf@online.de>

@mandog
If you had that signature when I posted my reply, I didn't notice it. I would not have mentioned the absence of punctuation if I had. I assumed that you were yet another lazy person without a reading disability who simply didn't make an effort and for that mistake I apologize.

*note to self: start reading forum signatures*

Childsplay package hasn't been updated for a while and this issue is still present.
I changed PKGBUILD as advised, but childsplay still doesn't work, it fails with the following error :

$ childsplay
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/childsplay", line 29, in <module>
    import childsplay_sp.utils as utils
ImportError: No module named childsplay_sp.utils

Any clue?

brazzmonkey · 2009-10-28 22:22:56

Don't you guys have children? Well, I guess no.

danym · 2009-10-29 00:23:59

Fixed PKGBUILD in AUR. Just try it; it works for me.... (on i686 with an up to date system, testing not enabled)

Wrong permissions on /usr/lib/python2.6/childsplay_sp and/or its subdirectories perhaps? It runs fine here (even before danym made the last change), but if I chmod that directory to 700, the same error as yours pops up.

brazzmonkey · 2009-10-31 20:48:02

Latest PKGBUILD solved it all.
Thanks danym (and foutrelis, too).
