perhaps i should add this info: games-board/pychess-0.10.1-r1 USE="-gstreamer" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python2_6" 0 kB python updater was ran, detected no problems, the problem persists even when i re-emerge pythess.
you can close the dialogue and gnuchess engine should still work
yes exactly, gnuchess and crafty work.
(In reply to Benjamin Schulz from comment #3) > yes exactly, gnuchess and crafty work. I'm investigating this... it seems to be fixed in 0.12beta3.
I have the fix locally, but I want to wait on bug 487788 to be fixed first, so people get a working ebuild on update.
+*pychess-0.10.1-r2 (22 Oct 2013) + + 22 Oct 2013; Julian Ospald <hasufell@gentoo.org> +pychess-0.10.1-r2.ebuild, + +files/pychess-0.10.1-python.patch: + fix engine detection when python3 is eselected wrt #487706 will close when -r2 hits stable
works now. can be closed.
