[yt-users] OpenSuse Install Troubles

[Nicholas Earl]

Hey all,

I've been trying to stick yt on an opensuse box, and I've run into a kind of funky error when it attempts to install mercurial-2.2.2. I just wanted to see if perhaps anyone has hit this wall before?

    user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE
  File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 243, in getuserbase
    USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase')
  File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 520, in get_config_var
    return get_config_vars().get(name)
  File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 419, in get_config_vars
    _init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS)
  File "/home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 287, in _init_posix
    raise IOError(msg)
IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /home/nearl/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

The directory /config does not exist. I've attempted to install the python-devel package, along with the python-setuptools-devel package, but they didn't seem to help at all.

I haven't worked with opensuse before, so it's quite possible that this may be a platform-dependent issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Nick
