There are two tests that are recommended after you install the reportlab module. reportlab/test/test_pdfgen_general.py and runAll.py After emerging python2.2.2 and reportlab1.17, both tests fail. The test_pdfgen_general.py succeeds if you include pythonpowered.gif in the test directory. The pythonpowered.gif can be found: http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/ReportLab_1_17.tgz runAll.py test fails on many accounts. ps. This is my first bug submission so any feedback as to how I might improve this report would be welcomed.
thanks .. your report is actually one of the more clearer informative ones :) yes, it seems like there's a problem with ReportLab install parts of its files in /usr/lib/python2.2 and some in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages i'll have to fix it when i get a little more time ..
most of the errors from runAll are permissions things. the test was designed to be run during the development and not after installation. i've moved the things to all install in the one directory tree so the data files can be found. these are all in 1.17-r1
