"ImportError: No module named alert" on Linux about autopy-legacy

[msanders]

cd out of the autopy directory and try again.

I'm running into the MMPointMake problem as well. I'm also on Gentoo, so perhaps that's related. I'm not familiar with C preprocessing, but could it be the H_INLINE business?

[samirunni]

Yes, that's possible. Did you manage to find any workarounds?

[mgregson]

It's almost certain that the problem happens because you used a compiler that the H_INLINE trick knows about, and the MMPointMake function is (correctly) compiled as an inline function. You can fix this by un-inlining all the inline functions in the C code.

[msanders]

@mgregson, @srunni, and @beyondkaoru: I've updated the definition of H_INLINE and removed the INLINE definition and modifiers entirely (as @mgregson stated in another issue he submitted, it was an oversight to include them as they should really just be shared, ordinary functions). If you have the time, would you mind testing this again to make sure I got it right?

when i setup, i found the default path is "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autopy"(ubuntu12.04), then i copy autopy folder to "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/" it can run! 👍
