mercurial in OS 10.4.11 (was imread/imwrite)

[Thomas L. Scofield]

I've been using some scripts that Ben Abbott supplied me with.  The main script is

cd ~/devel/mercurial/octave

hg update -C default

cd ..

if [ -d "octave-3.0.0" ]; then

        rm -r octave-3.0.0

fi

if [ -f "octave-3.0.0.tar.gz" ]; then

        rm octave-3.0.0.tar.gz

fi

cp -r octave octave-3.0.0

cd octave-3.0.0

../osx_fix.sh

./autogen.sh

cd ..

tar cvzf octave-3.0.0.tar.gz octave-3.0.0

md5 octave-3.0.0.tar.gz

echo "(1) Add md5 to octave.info"

mate "/sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo/sci/octave.info"

sudo cp octave-3.0.0.tar.gz /sw/src/.

sudo fink rebuild octave

sudo fink remove octave

sudo fink install octave

while the osx_fix.sh script does as he describes in this note to Maintainers

http://www.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2008-April/006941.html

Things progress along quite well for some time into the "make" process.  Here are the last few lines of output:

make -C src all

making DASPK-opts.cc from ../liboctave/DASPK-opts.in

making DASRT-opts.cc from ../liboctave/DASRT-opts.in

making DASSL-opts.cc from ../liboctave/DASSL-opts.in

making LSODE-opts.cc from ../liboctave/LSODE-opts.in

making NLEqn-opts.cc from ../liboctave/NLEqn-opts.in

making Quad-opts.cc from ../liboctave/Quad-opts.in

making defaults.h from defaults.h.in

making graphics.h

awk: syntax error at source line 413 in function emit_source source file ./genprops.awk

 context is

In answer to your python question, I appear to have two versions installed.  There is v. 2.3.5 installed in /usr/bin (and that is the one that comes first in my path), and v. 2.5.2 in /sw/bin which I must have installed using Fink.  I would not necessarily have thought, from the output above, that python versions were at the heart of my problem (and perhaps it is not).  On the other hand, I cannot imagine how a true syntax error has passed by other Mac users.

Thanks.

I've not contributed before, and I still haven't figured out mercurial on my Intel Mac with OS 10.4.11.  So, I'll probably have questions along the way concerning these.

What version of python do you use?

I use the binary installer for python 2.5.2 from the python homepage.

Mercurial then installs  under /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ and doesn't work for me.

You can try to

1. move the directories "hgext" and "mercurial" from /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages and

2. place the attached files there too (to tell python of the presence of mercurial).

That solved the problem for me.

Kind regards,
