Error Installing junos-python-ez in CentOS

[Kashif Rana]

Hello Experts

I am facing trouble to install junos-python-ez library on CentOS. Below steps I followed. I made sure libraries libxml2 and libxslt are also installed.

1- Install pip

wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py
python2.7 ez_setup.py

[root@localhost ~]# python -V
Python 2.7.8

[root@localhost ~]# pip -V
pip 6.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

2- Install junos-eznc
pip2.7 install git+https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc.git

I am getting the error:

In file included from src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:239:0:

   /tmp/pip-build-csh5ZQ/lxml/src/lxml/includes/etree_defs.h:14:31: fatal error: libxml/xmlversion.h: No such file or directory

     #include "libxml/xmlversion.h"

                                   ^

    compilation terminated.

    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

    ----------------------------------------

    Command "/usr/local/bin/python2.7 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-csh5ZQ/lxml/setup.py'

;exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-OrbQYV-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-csh5ZQ/lxml

Please help me.

Regards,

Kashif

Hi Kashif,

You need the development version of those libraries.  Please see:  https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc/blob/master/INSTALL-FEDORA.md

[rsherman@mail ~]$ yum provides */xmlversion.h

</snip>

libxml2-devel-2.7.6-14.el6_5.2.i686 : Libraries, includes, etc. to develop XML and HTML applications

Repo        : base

Matched from:

Filename    : /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlversion.h
