Install Python setuptools on CentOS 6
- by Ivan
I'm trying to install setuptools with no success so far.
When I do
python3.3 ez_setup.py
I get the following error:
Extracting in /tmp/tmp6nn4cz
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ez_setup.py", line 370, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "ez_setup.py", line 367, in main
return _install(tarball, _build_install_args(options))
File "ez_setup.py", line 55, in _install
tar = tarfile.open(tarball)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/tarfile.py", line 1571, in open
raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully")
tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully
I've been reading and it seems that zlib-devel was not installed when the python installation was done.
However, I did uncomment line 358 on Modules/Setup to enable zlib before compiling and if I try to
import zlib
on python3.3 console it works.
Also, in case it helps, here is the ldd python3.3:
# ldd `which python3.3`
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff79fda000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b96092da000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b96094f6000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x00002b96096fa000)

libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002b9609b12000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b9609d95000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b96090bc000)
What can I do?
