apt-get Error--E: Couldn't find package python-processing

[ajnabi]

I am following directions for installing flax on Ubuntu. Part of the instructions are to install python-processing with the usual apt-get command, "apt-get install python-processing."

But, I am getting the following error:

# apt-get install python-processing
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package python-processing

Is this in a different repository? Has it been renamed? Any help appreciated.

How are you installing flax? By 'hand' or with default package manager, or Synaptic? I'm guessing you're doing it 'by hand' from a downloaded .deb file.

A quick Google search on ubuntu package "python-processing" finds Package python-processing which shows this package available in Intrepid, Juanty, and Karmic only.

Ahh that's it. Thanks

I am following these instructions:

The flax is a src tarball and a few other files. I wanted to use apt-get to keep the python-processing up to date automatically. I saw that the instructions above used the apt-get command and assumed it was in a repository, just maybe a different one, maybe not.

Thanks

Hi Martin,
this was on 8.10.

Seems to support my initial assumption that what you are trying to do isn't supported in Hardy 8.04.

Yes, I believe you are correct. It may be time to upgrade.

Thanks for the help.
