Greetings,

I tried running Oeyvind's Barebones package, but apparently Csound 5.08 
does not install all the necessary Python opcodes, modules, and whatnot:

dlphilp@64studio:~/barebones$ python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 13, in 
    import csnd
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/csnd.py", line 7, in 
    import _csnd
ImportError: No module named _csnd

So, in order to get that package and Improsculpt working under Linux, 
what else should be in the site packages directory ?

I Googled for an answer, but the information I found was outdated. 
Cesare's suggestions, for example, didn't work because there's no 
lib_csnd.so. I do have a _csnd.so sitting in the top directory of the 
Csound 5.08 sources, but simply placing it in the site-packages 
directory got me this far:

dlphilp@64studio:~/barebones$ python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 13, in 
    import csnd
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/csnd.py", line 7, in 
    import _csnd
ImportError: libcsnd.so.5.1: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory


And indeed, there is no such file anywhere. Sigh...

Btw, am I correct to assume that Improsculpt will work with a 
double-precision build of Csound ?

All helpful suggestions are welcome.

Best,

dp

There should be a libcsnd.so.5.1 because if you build it from
sources, then _csnd.so is linked to it and if it doesn't exist,
the build would have failed.

I encountered the same thing, and had to install the python
modules by hand.

http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Re%3A-Re%3A-Tentative-request-p17094654.html

Briefly, after the build, follow up with this post-install
script:

[script must be used in the Csound5 build directory] 

sudo mv /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/csnd.py 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ 

sudo mv CompositionBase.py CsoundAC.py 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ 

sudo mv _csnd.so _CsoundAC.so lib_CsoundAC.so 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

Sorry, yes it is there. However, it is not linked to _csnd.so, they are 
separate files.

I tried Bruce's script, got a no-go after that too. I try this:

python main.py

And I get this:

dlphilp@64studio:~/barebones$ python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 13, in 
    import csnd
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/csnd.py", line 7, in 
    import _csnd
ImportError: libcsnd.so.5.1: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory


Libcsnd.so is in the plugins directory, AFAICT it's a stripped copy of 
libcsnd.so.5.1. There is a file named _csnd.so sitting in the top level 
of my Csound source build. Is it supposed to be somewhere else ?

Sorry, I'm still not clear about what exactly is supposed to go from 
Csound into the Python site-packages folder in order to run Oeyvind's code.

Best,
