Hi Dale, |
96 |
|
97 |
thanks for your informations... :) |
98 |
|
99 |
I did a typo...instead of |
100 |
|
101 |
"apt-get python smbus". |
102 |
|
103 |
it must be |
104 |
|
105 |
"apt-get python-smbus". |
106 |
|
107 |
|
108 |
I am searching "python-smbus" for Gentoo. |
109 |
The kernel configuration is already setup and ok. |
110 |
|
111 |
Do you the know the translation |
112 |
|
113 |
of "python-smbus" (Debian-speak) |
114 |
|
115 |
to ??? for Gentoo? |
116 |
|
117 |
Thank you very much in advance! |
118 |
Best regards, |
119 |
