How to install development package on linux?

S

Sarbjit singh

Sorry for this basic question but I am having problem compiling mod_wsgi onLinux. As per mod_wsgi package site, user must have python development package installed on system.

I had installed Python2.7 on my Linux system from source code, using the following configuration few months back :-

../configure –prefix=<path> --enable-shared
Make –i install

But I am not able to find how to install development package from source code.

Can some one please conform if I can install the development package from the same source code (Downloaded from Python Website for Unix) and please share the configuration switch for the same.

Thanks,
Sarbjit

Why do you use source tarballs? Your distro should provide nice
binary packages for Python and mod_wsgi. And in case it doesn’t, your
distro sucks and you should find a better one.

The development things are usually installed by default by most
things. Distributions offer them in -dev or -devel packages.

Impossible, unless you:
(a) build such packages yourself (Fedora .spec files may help you); or
(b) upgrade to RHEL 6, which offers packages for python 2.6 and mod_wsgi; or
(c) look for such packages on the Internet (you probably won’t findany).

So, get back to compiling from source. Have you actually tried
building those packages before asking? Because, according to the Arch
Linux PKGBUILDs for python2 and mod_wsgi2, it doesn’t have any
specific switches to enable anything “devel-related†(also,Arch Linux
doesn’t bother with the dumb -dev(el) packages, which make no sensein
real life).

Its not possible for me to switch to Red Hat6 at the moment.

Yes, I did tried compiling these from the source code and got some errors. I am using Xaamp for linux and following the below link for configuring python/mod_wsgi :-

When I initially tried to compile mod_wsgi, I was getting errors which got resolved by using development package fro Xammp for linux. (Solution found on google)

Now I am getting the following compiling errors:-

A "development package" is meaningless when you aren't installing it
from a package. Debian's binary packages don't include the header
files, so they put them in a different package. Since you compiled
from source, you already have the header files. Did you include the
directory you installed Python into on your library and includes
paths?

Just one more point, while initially I was trying to compiling the mod_wsgi, I was getting error for "libpython2.7.1.0.so Shared library error".

I resolved it by creating a soft link to this file in my /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. At that point also my LD_LIBRARY_PATH was having path for python lib but was resolved with soft link only.

This is not quite right. the --with-python option should point to the
python install path, not the python binary itself. It probably should be:

--with-python=/opt/lampp/python

Presuming that's what you used as a prefix when you built and installed
python 2.7.

When installing from source code, there's no such thing as a
"development package." Tarballs nominally install binaries, libraries,
and header files, which is the equivalent of a Red Hat rpm plus the
devel rpm. In other words when you did a "make install" everything you
need to compile against python 2.7 is installed to the prefix you used.
