Python Dependency DPKG
Dear all,
I am trying to install the virtual box deb but it has some dependencies. One of them is libpython2.7, which requires python 2.7. So, I compiled python 2.7 with: ./configure --prefix=/opt/python/ make && make install Then, I do 'dpkg -i libpython2.7_2.7.1-5ubuntu2_i386.deb' and get the following: libpython2.7 depends on python2.7 (= 2.7.1-5ubuntu2); however: Package python2.7 is not installed. I tried adding Python's bin folder to the PATH variable and creating a symlink to /usr/bin/python as well. Does anyone have some hints? OS: Ubuntu 11.04 Thanks in advance. |
Hi and welcome to LQ!
I'm not sure why you compiled python rather than installing the python 2.7 package. I also don't know why you used dpkg to install a package rather than using a regular package manager which takes care of things like dependencies. There are gui's or cli's like aptitude or apt-get that will do the job. ciao, jdk |
