I just installed it and it runs. I still have battles to fight with the programming cable, but that's a different story. Many thanks for getting this up and running.

The chirp package is now available in the Ubuntu-hams PPA for all
Ubuntu series except Karmic, which is still building.

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams/+archive/ppa/

Information about how to subscribe to this PPA is included at the link.

The Ubuntu-Hams PPA includes a lot of other ham software which
the ubuntu-hams team backports from the latest release to older
Ubuntu Series. These include chirp, d-rats, fldigi, cqrlog, hamlib, and more.

If you're using Ubuntu, this PPA is a good source of the latest
package updates.

Also, if you're using Ubuntu in the shack, you might be interested in
joining Ubuntu-hams:

The IRC channel we hang out in is a good place to get help.

Thanks, I'll uninstall and wait on the new package. Let me know when
it's ready and I'll do a test install if you'd like outside confirmation.

OK, I've made some progress in troubleshooting this. The package in
the PPA is just plain broken,
and I suggest you install from the tarball until I can fix it, and
don't use the PPA. In fact, I'm
going to delete the broken package from the PPA.

The package installs the modules to the wrong directory, putting them
in /usr/share instead
of in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

So I understand the problem, but I can't fix the packaging right away
because I'm traveling for
the rest of today. I can probably fix it by Monday.

The reason this didn't fail on the machine I'm on now is that the
files in the right location were
left over from a previous release which I had installed manually and
forgotten was even installed
(i.e. I thought this was a clean machine). I'm sorry for the problems
caused by the bad package,
but thanks for the help in tracking this down.

start python and type the next two lines into the python interpreter

You can email me directly if you want to take this off-list.

I was running the exact same version on this 10.04 machine, and it was
working.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine after that, too.
So I'm not sure
what's going on.

I used the instructions on this site.

Okay.

Steve, is it possible that the package isn't installing the module in
the right place on 10.04 to get picked by chirpw?

Thanks!
