I have this weird issue on my Mac OS X 10.7.5

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7/Python.h:33:10: fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found

What caused the above error?

I saw a lot of other questions like this but none of them answered the exact part I am having trouble with (actually installing the Python RPM). Someone on my system deleted /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2.4 on my 64 bit CentOS 5.8 installation.

I am doing maintenance for a python code. Python is installed in /usr/bin, the code installed in /aaa, a python 2.5 installed under /aaa/python2.5. Each time I run Python, it use /usr/bin one. How to make it run /aaa/python2.5?

I need newer Python so I downloaded .tar.gz from the site, unpacked, run ./configure; make; make altinstall. I had then separate Python 2.7 and default 2.5 and all worked fine.

But recently I needed to recompile Python with new libraries and instead of make altinstall I run make install. That replaced CentOS Python 2.5 with 2.7.

I've removed yum by mistake. So, now I'm installing all the dependencies needed by yum manually.

Openshot install from source 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi,

I'm trying to install Openshot 1.1.3. from source on Mandriva 2010. I don't understand what else I should do apart from the command "sudo python setup.py install", but clearly this isn't enough, because I get the following error message:

error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

I'm new to Linux and am trying to set up Python / Django on my machine! I installed Python 3.3 from the source file and it was compiled into /usr/local/bin.
