Sudoku and pysolfc refusing to load

[henwyn]

A couple of games that I sometimes use, sudoku and pysolfc, seem to install all right but will not load and execute. I am temporarily stumped and open to any suggestions. Thanks.

I have installed Lubuntu 13.04 in a Virtual Box machine. I've installed the PYSOLFC game and its cardset. When I attempt to start it in a console window I get the following messages.

spcwh2@lubuntu-1304:~$ pysolfc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/games/pysolfc", line 29, in <module>
from pysollib.main import main

import GifImagePlugin
ImportError: No module named GifImagePlugin
spcwh2@lubuntu-1304:~$


I'm pretty sure that this is a PYTHON game using version 2 of python.
can someone help me to resolve this issue ?

I am a novice when it comes to linux but willing to learn.

Thanks,

there seems to be a problem with pysol and 13.04 it doesnt work. have to wait and see what happens. hopefully the daily updates will fix in time.

have you tried to start them from a terminal ?

I'm having the same issue and here is what I get when starting pysolfc in a terminal.

spcwh2@lubuntu-1304:~$ pysolfc
Traceback (most recent call last):

I did open a separate thread on it as i did not notice this one. Perhaps something related to PYTHON 2 but I'm a novice on linux.

Thanks,
