configure script not finding python

Post by JustinClift »

Hi,

Just tried running the configure script on this linux system (Sun Java Desktop 2003) and it's not finding python:

$ python -V
Python 2.2.1
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ ./configure
checking Checking for C++ compiler.... checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out

<snipped for brevity>

checking for zlib.h... yes
Enabling user-specified flags:
checking for Win32 platform... no
checking for Linux platform... yes
checking for MacOSX platform... no
checking for python... configure: error: *** Python version 2.2 or later not found!
$

Python is definitely installed. This is using the latest CVS, as of about 15 minutes ago.

Any ideas?

Regards and best wishes,

Yep, that was the problem. Thanks. :)

Sun Java Desktop System doesn't have a python-devel package available for it. Installing the SuSE one seems to make things work however.
