Issue installing on CentOS

[Lakomkin Egor]

Hi All,

When installing bob on the CentOS machine I am running into this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 20, in <module>

      File "/tmp/pip-build-UMrUZK/bob.blitz/setup.py", line 74, in <module>

        system_include_dirs=system_include_dirs,

      File "/tmp/pip-build-UMrUZK/bob.blitz/.eggs/bob.extension-2.0.8-py2.7.egg/bob/extension/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__

      File "/tmp/pip-build-UMrUZK/bob.blitz/.eggs/bob.extension-2.0.8-py2.7.egg/bob/extension/__init__.py", line 57, in check_packages

        p = pkgconfig(splitreq[0])

      File "/tmp/pip-build-UMrUZK/bob.blitz/.eggs/bob.extension-2.0.8-py2.7.egg/bob/extension/pkgconfig.py", line 131, in __init__

        raise RuntimeError("pkg-config package `%s' was not found" % name)

    RuntimeError: pkg-config package `blitz' was not found

I have tried installing rpm with blitz-0.10 and installing from sources, but no luck.

rpm -qa | grep blitz

blitz-0.10-3.1.x86_64

Thank you for help in advance!

Hello,

The problem is that bob is looking for the pkg-config file of the blitz++ library but it can't locate it.

I suspect that the rpm package of blitz-0.10 is buggy in this respect.

You can check this by running such a command:
$ pkg-config --libs blitz
If blitz++ is properly installed, this should return something like:
-lblitz 

If you install blitz++ from sources, I think the .pc file is generated when you run the ./configure script. Next, I don't know how you've deployed your blitz installation from sources, but if this .pc file is in one of the pkg-config search dir (typically /usr/share/pkgconfig/), then the bob installation should be able to locate the pkg-config file of the blitz++ library.

Cheers,

Laurent
