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

Did you try

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get build-dep python2.7

before trying to compile ?

Anyway, the config.log file is always of special interest.
Btw, which Debian release are you running ?
If the system is set up correctly it should not be necessary to change env vars to get it built.
