Installing pyinterval in ubuntu


I am trying to install the python library pyinterval. It requires the crlibm C headers which I have installed without error, but seem to be at the root of the problem.

When I run:

$ sudo easy_install pyinterval

I get the following:

I have called:

$ sudo apt-get install python-all-dev

and that did not fix the problem.


Solution

  • In case anyone still has problems with this, you need to set "CPPFLAGS = -fPIC" in "scs_lib/Makefile", not "./Makefile".
