Hi,
I'm working on packaging Gubbins for the Debian Med team. The build
currently ends up in
...
Making install in python
make[2]: Entering directory '/build/gubbins-1.4.3/python'
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_scripts
make[3]: Entering directory '/build/gubbins-1.4.3/python'
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py install
running install
Checking .pth file support in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/test-easy-install-14282.pth'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
Makefile:462: recipe for target 'install-exec-local' failed
...
After contacting the author he suspects that's due to the usage of
brew:
For homebrew I don’t let it make install the python dependancies
(line 67), and instead invoke it later in the standard python manner.
I don’t know if this is the best way to do it, but it makes it work
in this instance.
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/gubbins.rb
Any advise on how to improve things would be welcome
Since I also never stumbled upon brew I wonder what might be the best
way to get a clean install target for the Debian packaging and may be as
a hint for upstream who is very responsive.
Kind regards
Andreas.
