Hi, I am trying to perform a user-install of python 2.7 on Ubuntu 10.04, and my installation is failing.
This sequence of commands reproduces the failure on my system: $ tar -zxvf Python-2.7.tgz $ cd Python-2.7/ $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME $ make $ ./python Lib/test/test_collections.py doctest (collections) ... 54 tests with zero failures $ make altinstall $ cd $ which python2.7 /home/oddron/bin/python2.7 $ python2.7 Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 26 2010, 01:49:59) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import collections Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/collections.py", line 8, in <module> from _collections import deque, defaultdict ImportError: No module named _collections >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', '/home/oddron/lib/python27.zip', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/home/oddron/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/home/oddron/lib/python2.7/site-packages'] >>> Things I have already checked: * My path includes ~/bin * None of PYTHONHOME and friends are set. * I have also tried "make install" instead of "make altinstall", and I get the same failure. Can anyone give me a hint regarding what has gone wrong? Thank you
