New install problem with mwlib and Collections

[unte...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have been trying to get the Collections extension to work on a fresh
mediawiki installation using the default configuration values for
everything but I have not been able to successfully generate a pdf
yet. Whenever I try to generate a pdf the 'Generating PDF' page always
ends up saying: "There was an error when generating the PDF file."
after staying at 1% for a while.

I've also been trying to install mwlib and mwlib.rl on the server as
well but I've been running into problems there also. First I try
running setup.py:

root@ubuntu804server:~/mwlib.hg# python setup.py build install
Error: please install re2c from http://re2c.org/ and run make

I've installed re2c, the python imaging library, simplejson,
pyparsing, setuptools, LaTeX, dvips, and ImageMagick so I give make a
go but then I get a bunch of error messages:

root@ubuntu804server:~/mwlib.hg# make
cd mwlib; make all

If I try to run setup.py again it also complains about _mwscan.cc and
quits.

I'm new to mediawiki so please forgive me if I've missed something
obvious. I'm using Ubuntu 8, Python 2.5, gcc 4.2.3, mediawiki 1.12,
and the source from the mercury repo for mwlib.

Cheers,
Julian

The server was a bit overloaded at the weekend (I've imported a dump of
the english wikipedia).

You need to install the python-dev (or python2.5-dev) package.
