Body
copied!<p>i am trying to install pycairo 1.10.0 for use with my custom-build python 3.1. however,</p> <pre><code>sudo /flower/bin/easy_install-3.1 pycairo </code></pre> <p>fails with </p> <pre><code>XXX@XXXX:/adventures$ sudo /flower/bin/easy_install-3.1 pycairo install_dir /flower/lib/python3.1/site-packages/ Searching for pycairo Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pycairo/ Reading http://cairographics.org/pycairo Best match: pycairo 1.10.0 Downloading http://cairographics.org/releases/pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 Processing pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 error: Couldn't find a setup script in /tmp/easy_install-zeG9HB/pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 </code></pre> <p>and indeed, there is no <code>setup.py</code> in the said download; instead, the <code>INSTALL</code> says: </p> <pre><code>Install Procedure ----------------- $ ./waf --help # shows available waf options $ ./waf configure # use --prefix and --libdir if necessary # --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 for Fedora 64-bit $ ./waf build $ ./waf install Use $ python3 ./waf ... if you have python2 and python3 installed, and the default is python 2.
