if python2.5 is used as the default python during installation (by which i mean emerging ardour 2.5), the installation will fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have python2.5 as your system python 2.emerge ardour Actual Results: A lot of ACCESS DENIED messages and no installation. Expected Results: An install. If python is rolled back to 2.4.*, then it will install just fine. I did this by adjusting the symlinks in /usr/bin to point to python 2.4 instead of 2.5 and it worked.
Run: python-updater -i
Did you miss to run python-updater, as you were instructed by the post-install information, when switching from Python 2.4 to 2.5? Also: If you encouter error messages, please post them. Your description is pretty vague and therefore not useful as a base to track down issues.
