[Sugar-devel] Error on running sugar-activity

[James Cameron]

I've not had a problem with order, but have had problems mixing
install destination because of the extra changes needed.

I'll speculate some more.

Looking at the traceback shows the toolkit is installed to /usr/local,
and the activity source is being run in
/home/buba/sugar-stuff/sugar-activities/ via
/usr/local/bin/sugar-activity.

I can't tell if sugar-activity is being run by a Terminal inside
Sugar, or by a Terminal outside Sugar.

When the datastore does not work, the Sugar shell.log would also
indicate this, and the Journal would not be usable.
