No RGB Matrix library found... #3

@partofthething

Forgive me but I have the RPI-RGB-LED-MATRIX api working with demos and such. However, I saw your code and am trying to get it to work. I am getting: No RGB Matrix library found. Cannot use that display

Am I missing something? It looks like it calls for rgbmatrix but can't find it?

For some reason, the dependency isn't getting found in your import path. How did you install the rpi-rgb-led-matrix dependency? When I did it, I believe I went into the bindings/python folder and ran something like make install or python setup.py install. As long as this library is either installed this way or pointed to in your PYTHONPATH environment variable, the import should succeed.

If you have it installed normally, it does look like the library has upgraded a few times so it's possible that infopanel has compatibility issues with their latest version.

Gonna close this due to it being stale for now.
