Nice one! I wasn't aware of the make install-home option…that makes things super easy. Sometimes searching to see if someone has already done something you're about to do really pays off, even when you think you know how to do it already!

Hi,

What I am thinking is that you may have mix versions of libraries used by Mercurial. Even without knowing it.
First thought, check if the machine doesn't already have Mercurial installed. Remove the path from your .bashrc and .bash_profile files and type hg. Then try hg -version.
I assume your are installing on a Dreamhost account.

Cheers,

I am trying this tutorial and I keep getting this error. I've checked both .bashrc and .bash_profile. I don't see anything wrong. Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home//bin/hg", line 11, in ?
from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable()
ImportError: cannot import name demandimport
