I implemented both Nat and Ralf's suggestions, deleting the installer and associated files and unsetting PYTHONHOME. This resolved the issue completely.

Thank you both for your help.

Could you send the complete log file to me?
phenix comes with all libraries needed, including a complete Python. The error is probably due to a conflict with some other Python-based application.
Quick guess: unset PYTHONHOME before running the phenix installer.

Subject: [phenixbb] Binary Installation failure on Ubuntu

Hi all,

I am trying to install the latest nightly build (dev-694) using the Kernel 2.6 (64-bit; Fedora Core 3) binary. The OS is Ubuntu 10.10 installed as a dual boot through Wubi.

I get as far as configuring PHENIX components at which point it heaves out a binary.log file. I can send the whole file to anyone whose interested but it's a bit too large for the bb. The juicy bit is as follows...

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
ImportError: No module named site

How can I determine which libraries are missing?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Katherine
