more on binary install of basin remote

Followup to previous install test, after trying suggestion from James.

Bottom line: is python2.5 required for basin remote?

[insert in previous report, after basin_start.sh failed]

TRY AGAIN 1/16/08

run export as before to set paths
also execute (this instruction now on the web page)
export PATH=/home/vogeley/bin/basin/bin:$PATH
so it can find
/home/vogeley/bin/basin/bin/ipcontroller

scripts/basin_start.sh -n 2 -p 10105
yields error messages

Error launching the controller, exiting.

I think this means it just can't find python. I see
/usr/bin/python2.4 but not 2.5
Do I need to update python to 2.5?

emerge --pretend python

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] dev-python/python-docs-2.4.4 [2.4.3]
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6 [2.4.3-r4] USE="-examples%
-nothreads%"
[ebuild N ] app-admin/python-updater-0.2

Hmm. Which version would it install? Doesn't look like 2.5
