I use Debian stable so "apt-get build-dep python2.7" doesn't work. I removed all installed Python 2.7.1 files and so on and tried to build/install from scratch. Now i can't get Python to find the readline library. What is the normal procedure to make sure the readline library is found? I downloaded readline 6.1, build it and installed it to $HOME/local $HOME/local/lib contains libreadline.so. I did the following to try to enable detection of the libreadline: - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH - vi Modules/Setup and uncomment the line that specifies the readline module. Added -L$HOME/local/lib - Tried ./configure with env CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/local/lib" - Edit setup.py, to add_dirs to $HOME/local/include and $HOME/local/lib - Tried to export CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS Nothing seems to work. What am i doing wrong? Cheers, Benedict -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
