Bug 66548 – pygtk-2.4.0 fails to configure when checking python2.3

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-06 10:21:50 UTC]

pygtk-2.4.0 fails to configure when checking the python libs because it searches them into /usr/local/lib/python2.3/ instead of /usr/lib/python2.3 .

The error is:

checking whether /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages version >= 2.3... configure: error: too old



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -v pygtk
3.

[Comment 2 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-06 10:28:24 UTC]

just creating a symlink to /usr/lib/python2.3 into /usr/local/lib/ doesn't solve the problem

[Comment 3 Lukasz Strzygowski (RETIRED) 2004-10-06 13:28:49 UTC]

If you have exported $PYTHON environment variable, please unset it.

[Comment 4 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-06 14:07:57 UTC]

I've unset it but the problem still remains.
I've tried also:
PYTHON=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages;emerge -v pygtk
PYTHON='' emerge -v pygtk

but those commands don't solve the problem

[Comment 5 Lukasz Strzygowski (RETIRED) 2004-10-06 15:29:39 UTC]

After unsetting PYTHON, do you get the same error message? Please attach log of the emerge.

[Comment 6 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-07 10:44:57 UTC]

Then..?

[Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-10-11 01:08:57 UTC]

that is because you have another python installed in /usr/local/bin/python. closing because of local problem.

[Comment 9 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-11 04:54:46 UTC]

$ ls /usr/local/bin/
getdelta.sh

??? Where's that python binary? Have I to reemerge python?

[Comment 10 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-11 05:55:26 UTC]

then... I found the problem with /usr/local, sorry... but the bug still remains:

checking whether /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages version >= 2.3... configure: error: too old

It check a directory! Maybe that's a problem...

[Comment 11 Emanuele Tamponi 2004-10-11 06:03:13 UTC]

excuse me, that's because I had to unset $PYTHON ...

All solved, many thanks!!
