"Snip 1" is end of output produced by:

"/home/arc/tahoe> sudo python setup.py install"

Snip 1:
Installing tahoe script to /usr/bin

Installed

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/allmydata_tahoe-0.6.1_31-py2.5-linux-i686.egg
Processing dependencies for allmydata-tahoe==0.6.1-31
end Snip 1:

Claim made in README:
"Run 'python setup.py install'. This will compile and install the Tahoe code to the standard location for your operating system (on unix, that is somewhere inside /usr/lib/)."

Begin Snip 2:
0 arc@coelacanth /home/arc/tahoe> ls /usr/lib/ | grep ^ta
tasksel

End Snip 2.

Perhaps I have misinterpreted the definition of Unix... or perhaps the "Tahoe code" has a name that is not obvious....

archie:

Another good catch!

The tahoe library (which is the part whose name ends with ".egg") gets installed into /usr/lib, and the tahoe executable (whose name is "tahoe") gets installed into /usr/bin.

Will you fix the README or shall I?
