when lucid puppy came along i thought great, easy installation of widely available apps....not quite ... installs fine but no run....maybe squeeze? nope..
the problem seems to be in the way puppy handles python, mypaint being mostly python and some C.
not that this is puppys' problem.
my guess is the python script that starts/runs mypaint needs some hacking......a very uneducated guess.
thanks for reading

Mypaint is nothing to do with mtPaint.
Also, you might like to post in the Requestssection
It might help to be more specific. What error messages do you get when you try to run it?installs fine but no run....

hi, thanks for the replies.. mt.... My... easy to confuse
sorry for the lack of specifics.. from memory the error was something to do with not finding python.. i'll get back to you with a more detailed error message..
as it happens, this was posted in Requests... some kind person has appeared to have moved it....

python can be nasty or tricky with its path in
/usr/lib/python2.6
watch out to link /usr/share/python || /usr/local/lib/python to it if necessary , and that the files are in the right sub-directory .
i would dl the source code to check it : python i think is a scripting language , so the Makefile inside the source is just for make install 'ing to the [ haha right directories ] . The diff should probably be applied , too , since Lupu-Ubuntu puts some libs to /lib and not to /usr/lib .
Sorry not to help out for more , and apologize , i really had confused mt and my , and this happens to me more often than i would like it ... ; did not know of My-Paint before .

"we are not correctly installed or compiled"
Sorry, that's a new one to me. I've dealt quite a bit with Python now, but I'm no expert
