Category: Installation Group: None >Status: Pending Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: larry (widgeteye) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Install fails with no error Initial Comment: When I built python 2.5 for linux I did the normal: configure make make install Everything went fine til the "make install" part. It dies with no error. just says "install failed" after this: Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py That part built fine but the next part failed. So what I did being the industrious fellow that I am I did: make -n install > out Took the out file and did: sh out That installed python without failure. Now if I do "make install" everything works fine. Weird eh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: larry (widgeteye) Date: 2007-02-26 00:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=402539 Originator: YES I think you missed the point I was trying to make. When I say "works fine" I mean that after I installed python using the shell script, then I could run "make install" and it would complete the install using make without failure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: larry (widgeteye) Date: 2007-02-26 00:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=402539 Originator: YES I think you missed the point I was trying to make.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-02-25 16:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO I'm not finding it weird that the shell script completed. I doubt it "works fine", though. Instead, some command in it failed, but the shell doesn't abort in this case - make would abort. Typically, when byte-compilation fails, it is because you have a file byte-compiled that has a syntax error in it. Scroll through the entire compileall output to see what the actual problem is. Tentatively closing this as "won't fix". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1667877&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
