distutils working only with python-devel

[Kamil Paral]

When you try to use distutils to install python module or
application, you receive a following error:

# python setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib64/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
#

The problem is that you don't have python-devel package
installed. My question is - is that right? Why should a
common user install devel packages to be able to install
python apps? Not mentioning cryptic error message (not
everyone will guess that).

Similar problem is for easy_install, it is located in the
python-setuptools-devel package.

I have looked at Ubuntu, the no problems there, everything
needed in non-devel packages.

Thanks for comments.

Ouch, of course I have written an email first and only after
that found it in the bugzilla!
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=64302
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66707
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=120879

Twice denied, once fixed. And still broken :)

I hope I fixed this last week; does 2.6.4-2 fix this for you?

* Thu Oct 29 2009 David Malcolm <[hidden email]> - 2.6.4-2
- "Makefile" and the config-32/64.h file are needed by distutils/sysconfig.py
_init_posix(), so we include them in the core package, along with their parent
directories (bug 531901)

Fourth time may be the charm :-)

BTW, please remember to give the version of the rpm you're running when
sending such emails.  I saw that you did in your bugzilla report (bug
533341) - thanks!

Hope this is helpful
Dave

Hello,
it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks,
