I have installed ranger on a number of machines, and like it a lot. Thank you for the time and care you have taken so far.
I do have one combination which is proving problematic: using ranger on a Fedora server when logged in from an OSX laptop. In that scenario ranger just "hangs", i.e. does not respond to any keyboard input, and has to be killed (which leaves the terminal window rather mangled).
I have successfully used ranger on a Ubuntu server when logged in from that OSX laptop, and have successfully used ranger on the Fedora server when logged in from another linux box (Mandriva 2007). The Fedora server is headless, so cannot use it directly.
Fedora server is "Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)", with "Python 2.7.2"
OSX laptop is OS X Lion (10.7.3), using iTerm2
One problem at install time: the base python on that machine is 2.5, and root's path will only find that one, so I had to run "make" without sudo in order that it could use python2.7. As permission problems showed up I did "chmod +w" on the relevant directories, then "chmod -w" afterwards.
I'm a competent pythonista/sysadmin if you'd like to suggest some debugging tips
