Extension simpletransform.py Not Installed

[shawnhcorey]

I running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) on a PowerBook G4. I have downloaded inkscape-current.tar.bz2
which unpacks to inkscape-17201/

I have run the following successfully:

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install

When I try the program, it works; until I try: Effects->Generate from Path->Pattern along Path. Then I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/inkscape/extensions/pathalongpath.py", line 35, in ?
    import pathmodifier,simpletransform
  File "/usr/local/share/inkscape/extensions/pathmodifier.py", line 31, in ?
    from simpletransform import *
ImportError: No module named simpletransform

But when I copy the module from inkscape-17201/share/extensions/ to /usr/local/share/extensions/ the effect works.

Apparently the `make install` is not installing the module.

Confirmed on most recent SVN (rev 17218) under Linux. This is a pretty big regression with a pretty quick fix, so milestoning it... (easy pts for someone)

Running Windows XP and 46 pre1
When I run the command Effects|Generate from Path|Pattern along Path
then the effect will crash and I get the error message:
.......................................................................................
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\pathmodifier.py", line 31, in
<module>
    from simpletransform import *
ImportError: No module named simpletransform

It appears to be looking for a file simpletransform.py
This file does not exist anywhere on my machine.

Looks like jfbarraud fixed this in SVN yesterday. And just like that, pattern along path works again...Thanks!
