I am trying to install readline for python 2.7.3 installed via homebrew. If I type easy_install readline I get Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/readline/readline-6.2.2.tar.gz#md5=ad9d4a5a3af37d31daf36ea917b08c77 Processing readline-6.2.2.tar.gz Writing /var/folders/44/dhrdb5sx53s243j4w03063vh0000gn/T/easy_install-64FbG8/readline-6.2.2/setup.cfg Running readline-6.2.2/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /var/folders/44/dhrdb5sx53s243j4w03063vh0000gn/T/easy_install-64FbG8/readline-6.2.2/egg-dist-tmp-NOmStB clang: error: no such file or directory: 'readline/libreadline.a' clang: error: no such file or directory: 'readline/libhistory.a' error: Setup script exited with error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit status 1 Any ideas about how I could fix this ?
