Hmm - I'm an average pytone user and I installed all the dependencies without a hitch - they are clearly described in www.luga.de/pytone/#pr... ... (my distribution is Gentoo btw)
Furthermore I want to emphasize that I use mainly *this* program to DJ all over the world and I *really* like it a lot!!!
Thank you Joerg for bringing this project to life (and for your fast support as well ;-) )
I strongly recommend this program to everyone who does not need all the buttons and stuff!

I can understand your troubles building all the different dependencies yourself. It's not a task I would expect from pytone users, though.
For that reason I provide Red Hat and Fedora packages at:
Using apt, yum or smart you will pull in all dependencies. And this way you can complain to the person who made the packages (if something does not work) instead of Freshmeat :-)
Kind regards,

I've had a very different experience. Using debian unstable, apt-get install pytone installs fine and works exactly as advertised.
Always broken
I have compiled this project five times and every single time I had to dig out stupid and sloppy mistakes. It never worked out of the box. After release 6 I gave up. I can strongly discrecommend this project to anyone.
Don't waste your time on it.

Dude, I am a packager, and I was sick of fixing all those silly problems that you would find if you would take the trouble to run your code before releasing it.
Everybody makes mistakes, but 6 times a broken release with various different sloppy bugs is too much. Especially if you report them and they don't get fixed.
