The YouTube video for How to install BPBible 0.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.10 in fifteen minutes worked great, but now a new version of Ubuntu has been released - 11.10. This version ships with Python 2.7 which will not work with the bindings provided on the Development Website under "Using the binaries Under Linux" which are targeting Python 2.6.

Would you please post a new tar file on the Development Website with the bindings targeting Python 2.7?

Thank you.

Hi, I use BPBible and I would like to reuse the book/chapter selection widget. Where can I find it in the source.

Sometimes it seems like BPBible is not as well supported on Linux as it is on Windows. However, one of our enthusiastic users has created a YouTube video to explain the installation process on Ubuntu. For more information about it or to make comments, please go to the original forum post.

I've had a tough time installing BPBible 0.4.7 on my netbook that is running Ubuntu 10.10. Actually, if you know what you are doing, it's quite easy. My main problem was not knowing anything about running python programs. After about three weeks of struggling, I got it working. I decided to make a screen capture video of the way I did the installation and post it on Youtube. I wanted it to be in real time with no cuts. This included, in part...

1. Launch browser and download source code and bindings, and unzip them.
2. Install the required packages.
3. Make a menu to launch the program.

I would love to see a version of BPBible that can just be run on Linux without installing Sword, wxPython, ... Could those libraries be distributed with the program for a portable Linux setup?

I'm not sure how hard this would be... might take a look at it if this would be a possibility.

Trying to follow guide here: http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/RunningBPBible

I've downloaded the sword engine from SVN, svn co https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/ sword

In the directory sword/bindings/swig/package, I've run ./autogen.sh, then ./configure, then make pythonswig and get this:

mkdir -p python
python -c++ -shadow -o python/Sword.cxx -I. -I/usr/include/sword ./sword.i
File "", line 1
++
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make: [pythonswig] Error 1 (ignored)

Is there something I'm missing?
