Help! I've tried everything but it doesn't work! Troubleshooting
------------------------------------------------- ---------------
If you have trouble using Freeze for a large program, it's probably
best to start playing with a really simple program first (like the
file hello.py). If you can't get that to work there's something
fundamentally wrong -- read the text above to find out how to install
relevant parts of Python properly and how to configure Freeze to find
them.
A common problem is having installed an old version -- rerunning "make
libainstall" often clears up problems with missing modules or
libraries at link time.
Freeze is currently beta software. You could email me a bug report. What is nfreeze.py?
