Andi, TL;DR: success! installing setuptools 1.1.6 allowed the PyLucene 4.5 install to succeed.
I have several Python versions on my laptop, each of which seems to have at least one setuptools installed with it. The one for Python 2.7.2 is here: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/ and __init__.py in the above directory has this line: __version__ = '0.6c12' Is there some other way to determine the setuptools version? I installed setuptools v1.1.6 using the instructions here: <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/1.1.6#upgrading-from-setuptools-0-6>, (I see that the above-mentioned __init__.py still has the same __version__ - not sure what that means…) Anyway, this (apparently) allowed the installation process to succeed! Here's the output I get at the end after I re-unpacked the pylucene distribution and ran 'make && sudo make install': ----- creating /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lucene-4.5.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg Extracting lucene-4.5.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages Removing lucene 4.5.0 from easy-install.pth file Adding lucene 4.5.0 to easy-install.pth file Installed /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lucene-4.5.0-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg Processing dependencies for lucene==4.5.0 Finished processing dependencies for lucene==4.5.0 ----- Steve On Oct 11, 2013, at 3:30 PM, Andi Vajda <va...@apache.org> wrote: > On Fri, 11 Oct 2013, Steve Rowe wrote: > >> I really have no idea where to start looking to figure out what's happening >> - I'm not a big python user - any ideas? >> >> Would it be useful to package up my make'd directory and send it to you? > > I don't know yet.
