Hi Nick, This looks a bit odd to me. I think in fact there's likely a breakage in your installation of Python. Can you send me (off-list) your yt_install.log, and I'll reply on-list with more? -Matt On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 1:24 AM, Nicholas Earl <nchlsearl@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey all,

I've been trying to stick yt on an opensuse box, and I've run into a kind of funky error when it attempts to install mercurial-2.2.2. I just wanted to see if perhaps anyone has hit this wall before?

user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 243, in getuserbase USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase') File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 520, in get_config_var return get_config_vars().get(name) File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 419, in get_config_vars _init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS) File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 287, in _init_posix raise IOError(msg) IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

The directory /config does not exist. I've attempted to install the python-devel package, along with the python-setuptools-devel package, but they didn't seem to help at all.

I haven't worked with opensuse before, so it's quite possible that this may be a platform-dependent issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Nick
