Hello guys.
Now I ran into a little problem which is a real bummer. Is there
supposed to be an development package for python for debian for I sure cannot
find it anywhere.
Reason I am asking is that I am installing Gnome 1.0 version from
tarballs since no deb are made yet....but when I ran the configure for
gnome-python-1.0.0, it returns this errors. So I hope someone can answer that
one since that one bummed me out. I usually find the answers myself and such
but this one is beyond me.. and frankly... I not sure if I want to grab a new
tarball of python to do what what I need to make this installation work when I
already installed python in it in the first place from Slink distrib.
Here is what it says as I ran it.
bash-2.01# ./configure --prefix=/usr
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking for python... python
checking where .py files should go... /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
checking where python extensions should go... /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
checking for python headers... found
checking definitions from Python makefile... configure: error: [Couldn't find
the python config makefile. Maybe you are
missing the development portion of the python installation]
Fear installing this gnome on slow 486 100Mhz system which works great but
seems to take forever when you are busy running other stuff under X-Windows
while it is running the background. :)
Anyhow... any help is appreciated. :)
