installing pycryto on raspbian for python 3.2.3

panickedprocrastinator · 07-26-2015, 11:53 AM

Im trying to crate a cryptosystem on the raspbian OS. Chose python and pycrypto because the OS comes with python 3.2.3 pre-installed. Moved the "pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz" to the folder where python files are located and extracted there. Suposed to build using the command "python setup.py build" and then install.

But during the build phase, keep getting the error:

"pi@raspberrypi /usr/lib/python3.2/pycrypto-2.6.1 $ python setup.py buildrunning build
running build_py
running build_ext
running build_configure
warning: GMP or MPIR library not found; Not building Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath.

src/MD2.c:31:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
"

Not able to figure out whether I am supposed to change the pathing. Could somebody give an insight in to this?

Install the -dev package for python.

Code:

apt-cache search python | grep dev

Then install the main python development packages, probably called something like python-dev.

Might be available as a package, try:

Code:

sudo apt-get install pycrypto
