I already have installed its dependencies; Pixman and Cairo. The environment is on a VirtualBox Guest running Debian 8 Jessie 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u2 (2016-06-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux The install has only the Standard System Utilities and the SSH Server plus all the packages that I have installed to meet the Graphite dependencies. I have downloaded the source code and read both the README and the INSTALL files supplied and this is where I am up to: <A HREF="mailto:root@nagios">root@nagios</A>:~/py2cairo-1.10.0# ./waf configure ./options() Setting top to : /root/py2cairo-1.10.0 Setting out to : /root/py2cairo-1.10.0/build_directory ./configure() Checking for 'gcc' (c compiler) : ok Checking for program python : /usr/bin/python Checking for python version : (2, 7, 9, 'final', 0) Checking for library python2.7 : yes Checking for program python2.7-config : /usr/bin/python2.7-config command ['/usr/bin/python', '/usr/bin/python2.7-config', '--includes'] returned 1 <A HREF="mailto:root@nagios">root@nagios</A>:~/py2cairo-1.10.0# I have analysed: command ['/usr/bin/python', '/usr/bin/python2.7-config', '--includes'] returned 1 and the 'syntax error' is spawned rightly so since the command is using python to execute a bash script file (python2.7-config). I have searched for a thread that could lead me to a clarification and also got a colleague involved with more experience than me to not avail. If I run: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.7-config --includes then: File "/usr/bin/python2.7-config", line 5 echo "Usage: $0 --prefix|--exec-prefix|--includes|--libs|--cflags|--ldflags|--extension-suffix|--help|--configdir" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax If I run: /usr/bin/python2.7-config --includes then: -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7 Could someone please lead me with some directions in order to install py2cairo?
