CentOS

My developers need Python-2.6.9 installed on one of our machines running CentOS 7. I'd like to avoid using a docker container but will do that if it comes to it. I'm using a build directory and running

Code: Select all

../Python-2.6.9/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"

Configure goes well and then I run

Code: Select all

make -j16

This is where I have a problem. I get these errors.

Code: Select all

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb             bsddb185           dl              
imageop            linuxaudiodev      ossaudiodev     
sunaudiodev                                           
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


Failed to build these modules:
dbm

The full output from make is at http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=D1PLiLzz. Does anyone know how to fix this? Maybe I'd be better served by pushing back on my developers to use docker. Advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Perhaps you could use CentOS 6. It uses python 2.6.6.

They need gcc-4.8 and both python-2.6 and python-2.7. I chose CentOS 7 because, during the planning stages, I was told that they would only need gcc-4.8 and python-2.7. Now that they've been using this machine for a few days they're saying they need all three. Thanks for the suggestion but I should have provided this information with the initial post.

Tell them to fix their code?
