[Pyparsing] problem installing pyparsing

[Isabelle C. <isa...@in...>]

Hi,

I have a problem installing pyparsing (v 1.4.11):

$ sudo python setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open 
/usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

I do have a directory /usr/lib/python2.5, but I don't have directory 
config/ under it.

Do you know what's wrong ?

My configuration: Mandriva 2008.0 and rpm python is installed (version 
2.5.1)

Best regards,
Isabelle Cabrera

That file isn't in the main python RPM.  I can't find a copy right now
(I'm not running on Mandriva), but I would guess that install
python-devel would give you what you need.

Hope that helps.

I've installed rpm libpython2.5-devel and now it works.
Thank you :)

Well, I'm glad this resolved your problem, but the real question is, why
does the pyparsing setup.py require the devel install of Python?  I don't
know what in the pyparsing setup.py is trying to run the Python makefile,
any distutils experts out there?
