[egenix-users] Error on Mac with mxText

[Y Tu]

Hi Charlie,

I repeated the installation of mxTool with Admin account, since I got the following error messages when installing biopython
==========================
leeComputer:/applications/Python_Bio/biopython-1.43 lee$ sudo python setup.py install
running install
*** mxTextTools *** is either not installed or out of date.

This package is required for many Biopython features.  Please install
it before you install Biopython.
You can find mxTextTools at http://www.egenix.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html.


I did the installation following your suggestion;
===========================
leesComputer:/applications/python_Bio/egenix-mx-base-3.0.0.macosx-10.3-fat-py2.5_ucs4.prebuilt lee$ sudo python setup.py build --skip install
running build

Writing /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/egenix_mx_base-3.0.0-py2.5.egg-info


However, when I tested the installation I got
============================
>>> from mx import TextTools

Any suggestions to fix the problem? Thank you so much.
