wicd.mo doesn't exist

[John Doe]

I tried to install wicd-1.7.2.1 on both Slackware64 and Mint x64 (Ubuntu) with this bug preventing installation (as root and regular user):

Installation method (from INSTALL file):
python setup.py configure && python setup.py install

error under the python setup.py install:
error: can't copy 'translations/vi/LC_MESSAGES/wicd.mo': doesn't exist or not a regular file

My python version: 2.7.2 (Slackware) and 2.7.2+ (Mint)

I thought installing pybabel would fix this bug, but it did not. Also, pybabel should be moved to optional not a dependency.

Could you please paste your "./setup.py configure" ?

[John Doe (johndoe32102002)]

As requested, attached is my: python setup.py configure.

Is that all? It seems like it's missing some bits.

Could you please verify that your setup.py has the following lines?

        trans = compile_translations(self.distribution)
        trans.run()

[John Doe (johndoe32102002)]

The setup.py has these lines:
369 trans = compile_translations(self.distribution)
370 trans.run()
