Genesis Sync

genesis does not install on Fedora 10

Asked by daduke

I'm trying to install genesis (tried both 0.3.2 and 0.4) on Fedora 10. I installed all dependencies first. When running "python setup.py install", I get "error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)". I cannot find a reference to this Makefile anywhere in genesis. Also strace didn't reveal where this read request comes from. I'm willing to provide any help I can, but I'm not familiar with python. Thanks.

Thanks for the report.

From all that I can see, I don't think this is a Genesis bug. Did you install other python software before, using setup.py? I'd guess that your python installation is missing some development files. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Fedora, but maybe installing the package "python-devel" helps.

Installing python-devel does the trick.
