[Duplicity-talk] installing duplicity on OpenBSD 4.0

[Seth Fulton]

Has any been able to get duplicity 0.4.2 working on OpenBSD 4.0?

I initially had some problems building from source on OpenBSD.  This was rectified by altering the ext_module portion of the setup.py python script as follows:

 ext_modules = [Extension("duplicity._librsync",
                                                           ["_librsyncmodule.c"],
                                                        libraries = ["rsync"],
                                                            include_dirs=include_dirs,
                                                            library_dirs=library_dirs)],

I was then able to build and install duplicity, apparently w/out errors.

Now however, when I try to run a test backup, the follow error(s) occur.

ksh prompt$ duplicity ~ scp://address@hidden//home/seth

    raise BackendException("Error running '%s'" % commandline)

Any suggestions?
