I installed Edgewall Trac0.11 in Linux Mandriva and I need a module setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg for Python2.5.

When I run the following:

sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg

I get an error:

error: Invalid Python installation: 
unable to open /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

I do as described here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads

I can specify the installation path:

sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg --install-dir /var/setuptool

But the same error occurs.

What am I doing wrong?

    What is the version of Python you are running? Are you sure its 2.5? Seems quite old. – Burhan Khalid Oct 27 '12 at 10:31
  • You should upgrade your python version, I believe mandriva has rpm for 2.7.x – Burhan Khalid Oct 27 '12 at 12:55

    Please to not start with such an ancient Trac version! We've 1.0 these days, and you should really start each new application with that, because support for 0.11 is non-existent regarding Trac itself. It's already obsoleted by Trac 0.12 for years. Only plugin support is still strong, still - bound to fade away sooner or later as well. – hasienda Oct 29 '12 at 20:43

One alternative is to try installing the Mandriva package for setuptools with:

$ yum install python-setuptools

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip is better than easy_install, so use it!
