Hi, thanks for taking the time to help out with this.

The install script shows a whole pile of file names, but no errors.  I ran 
this as root (su from a Konsole in KDE 3.0.3).

Running the rpm command as root gives a stream of messages like this ...

but more lines identical to these.
First time round, I clicked on the rpm in Konqueror, and package manager 
gave similar messages, plus one about an error before it dissappeared.  (Is 
there a way of getting package manager messages back?  eg an install log)  
Just now, I ran the rpm again as root in a Konsole to get the above 
messages.  So I've tried it with package manager and from command line.

Runing pyvon as root gives a similar result to before (ie Xstream window 
flashes up then disappears), except this is displayed momentarily ...

I notice /usr/local/pyvon has these files
c97.py  d20.py  d25.py  pyvon  res.py
and that res.py runs d25.py .

TIA
