How do I fix the python installer's 'missing dependencies' error?
- by Trevor Boyd Smith
Background:
running ubuntu
So I downloaded the python "install from source" tarball. I ran make and got this error message:
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_aaa _bbb _ccc ... _jjj _kkk
I google'd and found one solution is to:
MANUALLY map all the string names from the error message to something in the apt-get repo
MANUALLY call "sudo apt-get AAA BBB ... JJJ KKK" to get all the libraries
I can easily do all of that. But I have no way of knowing what is the right version libraries I need to get! How in the world am I supposed to fix the missing dependencies if I don't know what the exact missing dependency is?
