Hi,
I'm trying to install numpy1.5.1 in a virtual environment (virtualenv-1.5.1) on my debian testing box. I'm using python 2.7 installed from a debian package.
[...]
Doing the same with python2.6 (also from debian package) works just fine. Could somebody tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
FYI, it seems that python2.7 packaged by debian is not fully compatible with virtualenv-1.5.1. The following changes in /usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py fix the problem: vmas@rachael$ diff -u /usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py /tmp/sysconfig.py --- /usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py 2011-04-06 20:51:00.000000000 +0200 +++ /tmp/sysconfig.py 2011-04-06 20:47:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -294,7 +294,7 @@ def _get_makefile_filename(): if _PYTHON_BUILD: return os.path.join(_PROJECT_BASE, "Makefile") - return os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib').replace("/local","",1), "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile") + return os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib').replace("/usr/local","/usr",1), "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile") def _init_posix(vars): @@ -394,7 +394,7 @@ else: inc_dir = _PROJECT_BASE else: - inc_dir = get_path('platinclude').replace("/local","",1)+(sys.pydebug and "_d" or "") + inc_dir = get_path('platinclude').replace("/usr/local","/usr",1)+(sys.pydebug and "_d" or "") return os.path.join(inc_dir, 'pyconfig.h') def get_scheme_names(): I suppose these changes can create other problems sooner or later so they are not a fully satisfactory solution, just a workaround to this specific problem.
