Funny you = mention xorn . . .

Back in August I was trying to compile source on = CentOS.?? (I failed and gave up.)
There was a 'soft' warning = which I ignored and worked on other 'harder' failures.?? As I remember there was an issue with autogen.sh that was not finding some directories in xorn and failed to create a valid Makefile.?? This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I had spent most of my time trying to get Guile to = compile since CentOS did not provide precompiled Guile binaries as they considered the branch dead.?? The flags I ended up giving the package configurator basically were empty?? ./configure PKG_CONFIG=3Dtrue GUILE_CFLAGS=3D"" GUILE_LIBS=3D"" =

Were I looking for something to try, I would = attempt something similar, substituting PYTHON_CFLAGS and PYTHON_LIBS for Guile and making them empty.??

I consider this merely something to try.?? If it = does not work I've got nothing else to suggest.
Hope this = helps.

= Glen,
Thank you for your response. I am compiling = geda-gaf from source. I have always done

this with previous releases. The precompiled geda-gaf binaries for Ubuntu 18.04 are from

1.8.2. As I understand it, the latest release 1.10 has significant new features which I???d

like to use.

I am able to invoke the python2 interpreter from = the command prompt. I can also invoke

the python3 interpreter.??

I think the problem lies in the configure.ac = script for xorn. It checks for python and cannot

find it.

Any further insights you have would be = welcome.

I'm = confused.?? The error message is indicative of trying to compile the source.?? However = I believe Ubuntu 18.04 has a precompiled binary in the repository.?? I would think the precompiled binary would be easier to download and install.
Additionally you should be able to type python2 at the command prompt and bring up the Python interpreter.?? (quit() = to exit.)?? Assuming the interpreter was installed at the nominal location.

Regards.

Gang,
I've just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and am trying to install =
geda-gaf-1.10.0.
I got past the gamin errors I was getting but am now stuck at a new
error I cannot quite figure out.

After running:
sudo ./configure --prefix=3D/opt/geda/geda-gaf-1.10.0

All is well until I see:

checking for PYTHON... no
configure: error: Package requirements (python2 >=3D 2.7) were not =
met:

No package 'python2' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYTHON_CFLAGS
and PYTHON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
configure: error: ./configure failed for xorn

At this point I am stumped.  Have looked at many resources but to no =
avail. Python
is at version 2.7.15.

Any help folks?

Thanks,
Roger Traylor
