Hi!
I had problems installing Gnuplot1.5 package under python2.2.1. I got
an error
which was a result of calling distutils.util.convert_path with an empty
string argument.
To correct the problem I added
if len(pathname ) == 0:
return pathname
as the first executable statement in that function. After that the
Gnuplot installation completed succesfully.
The question:
Is it a legal path to keep (did I corrected a bug or just generated a
new one)?
Nadav.
