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.
