Hi, net-im/skysentials doesn't work out of the box. A set of trivial edits has been suggested by somebody who call himself (or herself) XoDeus.dk. This can be downloaded from http://xodeus.dk/files/skysentials-1.0.1-xod.tar.gz I transformed these edits to a patch and an ebuild. Please consider adding it to portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge skysentials 2. skysentials Actual Results: An error message because of incorrect path to the python interpreter. If this fixed, the application window appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. Expected Results: Application just works. There are still minor problems with the application. Price preview doesn't work (only post-factum a user can see the price) and there is a thread sync problem on application shutdown.

What is your _actual_ error message?
(In reply to comment #5) > What is your _actual_ error message? > -bash: /usr/bin/skysentials.py: /usr/bin/python25: bad interpreter: No such file or directory But the real problem is of course that after fixing the path to python interpreter the application window closes promptly and silently a fraction of second after program launch.

It should be /usr/bin/python (which is a symlink to pythonX.X).

I was just stating the obvious. Will get to it soonish, thanks!
added to -r1. Thanks for putting it together!
seems when the patch was commited to the tree line 161 was automatically changed from: # $Id: skysentials.py 141 2007-11-22 17:42:53Z pkolmann $ to: # $Id: skysentials-1.0.1-python26.patch,v 1.2 2009/09/20 17:46:27 darkside Exp $ changing it back makes the commited patch work again.
