Ok, Thank you!! I was under the assumption that the daily build was an add on and not a complete package. I will give it a new try. I am used to doing everything with .DEB files and have not done much with tar files. Ed

Yes there is no problem downloading it or installing the release, what I wanted to know is how to install the daily builds after downloading
Eh? You have no problem installing but want to know how to install? I'm confused :)
It's probably worth stating that trying the daily builds under linux is best done from a terminal window (a command line session). It's possible to do with with a graphical file manager, but is easier from the command line. On linux, daily build don't need to be installed so there will be no menu entry or desktop launch icon.
- Download the daily build to some place in your home directory (or even /var/tmp)
- make a new, clean temporary directory for the daily build
- cd into that directory and use tar to unpack the daily build there.
- Run the daily build by typing ./chirpw. The ./ is important to run
the chirpw in the current directory and not a previous version that got installed on the system in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
Hope this helps, --Rob
The daily builds are complete. Just extract the tar.gz, which will create a versioned directory as a result. Go in there and run chirpw manually, or do the normal install process as you would with any release.
I would recommend not installing the daily builds into your system, just because python's distutils doesn't make it easy to uninstall things, and since the daily builds could change so much day to day.
It's pretty easy to just run chirpw from within the daily directory that the tarball extraction creates.
