Topic: python issue /linux/

hello ,

i would like to install on ubuntu20.04

https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Linux


the issue is with

step

# make Python find the Vapoursynth module
# there MUST be a better way to do this!
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/vapoursynth.so /usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/vapoursynth.so


the error is

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/vapoursynth.so /usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/vapoursynth.so
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/vapoursynth.so': No such file or directory

python3.8 is installed.

adapting to 

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vapoursynth.so /usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload/vapoursynth.so

seems to have fixed it.

Re: python issue /linux/

the next issue is that build would fail

make: Leaving directory '/home/rich/Programme/mpv-build/ffmpeg_build'
Using mpv options: --enable-vapoursynth --enable-libmpv-shared
/usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory

pyhton-minimal

is not available in ubuntu20.04 , instead there is

python2-minimal, pyhton2.7-minimal

sudo apt-get install python-minimal
Reading package lists... Done

Package python-minimal is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  python2-minimal:i386 python2-minimal

E: Package 'python-minimal' has no installation candidate

Re: python issue /linux/

on possible solution was given here

https://askubuntu.com/questions/942930/ … -directory


cd /usr/bin
sudo mv python python.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python

this helped me to install the mpv with vaporsynth and svp4linux accordingly.

however, for some reason, svptube won't start.

Re: python issue /linux/

updating svp4linux to latest version .183
solved also the issue with svptube 2.

now it picks up the links as desired.
