[tahoe-dev] Installation on Mac

[til]

well:

ubumac:Library till_old$ ls -al Python/

drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel   204 27 Jul  2012 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 67 root  wheel  2278  9 Jul 13:06 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   102 25 Mai  2011 2.3
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   102  3 Aug  2011 2.5
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   102  3 Aug  2011 2.6
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   102  3 Aug  2011 2.7

ubumac:Library till_old$ ls -al Python/2.7/


drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102  3 Aug  2011 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  204 27 Jul  2012 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   68 14 Jul 22:40 site-packages

so not surprisingly this fails:
python setup.py install
[...]
.
.
[...]

running install_lib
creating /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/allmydata
error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/allmydata': Permission denied

from a non root user. this is basically a vanilly osx 10.7.5. installation with additional XCode / macports etc, which probably dont change permissions in /Library ... so i guess its not as easy as to delete the sources and start over.

That will happen if you run build first with sudo and then without.

I was mistaken in saying that 'sudo make clean' is sufficient to fix that. The
simplest way to fix it is to 'sudo rm -rf' the Tahoe source directory and then
re-download and rebuild.
