Can't compile libopensync-plugin-python?! What is this error?

chrisportela · 01-30-2011, 09:38 AM

When I try to 'make' the libopensync-plugin-python-0.22 source I downloaded I get this error which I don't understand (pythonmakerror.txt)

Code:

make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chrisportela/Downloads/libopensync-plugin-python-0.22'
if /bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python2.6 -DOPENSYNC_PYTHONPLG_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/opensync/python-plugins\"  -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/include/opensync-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include   -g -O2 -MT python_module_la-python_module.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/python_module_la-python_module.Tpo" -c -o python_module_la-python_module.lo `test -f 'src/python_module.c' || echo './'`src/python_module.c; \

I think that is causing this error when I try to compile the libopensync-plugin-synce-0.22 source and it complains (error.txt)

Code:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking for gawk... no

See `config.log' for more details.

Which version of Ubuntu ?

Your profile says Slackware, but then gcc will work, and Python.h won't be missing.

Ubuntu : sudo apt-get install g++ python-dev

( g++ takes care that libraries necessary for gcc are installed.)

Right I'm sorry, I thought I updated that. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with all the updates(if that makes a difference with this although I'm pretty sure that wouldn't but I hear those updates break stuff sometimes).
That solved the problem installing the python plugin but not when installing the 2nd plugin and it gives the same error. What does that mean? Is it a 32 vs. 64 bit issue? I already have all the ia32 libs installed for wine to run and some other stuff. So wouldn't that solve the issue already?

Would uploading the config.log file be of use in figuring this out or that does give away a lot of information to put on the internet? It doesn't look like it's revealing too much other than just the config for what this app needs but I could have missed something. Anyway should I upload it to help figure out the problem?

May be just tell the name of the mlt package.
