Hi,
i'm trying to compile Python 2.7.1 on Debian (Virtual Box). Compiling end successfully but readline and curses fail to build. I'm working with virtualenv and I install all my packages in $HOME/local. I've downloaded readline, compiled and installed it in $HOME/local, same with ncurses. Both were the latest releases. But somehow, Python isn't able to build them. I get this message: Failed to build these modules: _curses _curses_panel readline So it does seems to find the modules. I'm not used to dealing with configure, and make so i can't debug much. I first tried this configure line: ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/local Next i tried this one: env CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/local/lib" ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/local But make yields the same error. Any clues on what I do wrong? The source of ncurses and readline are placed in $HOME/src. Both packages are installed in $HOME/local Thanks for any advice, Regards, Benedict -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
