Re: [cclib-users] installing cclib with debian

[Noel O'B. <no...@ca...>]

Wait a second. I've got it.

I ran:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.3/config
and got.....
python2.3-dev: /usr/lib/python2.3/config

In other words, this directory is supplied by the Debian package
python2.3-dev.

So you need to install python2.3-dev.

Finally! :-) Hope you enjoy cclib.

Regards,
 Noel
