Greetings, My OS is Ubuntu Lucid lynx 10.04, with Python disutils python-setuptools version 0.6.10-4ubuntu1
I am behind proxy. http_proxy and https_proxy is defined as http://username:passwd@proxy-ip:port I am trying to use easy_install to install rosinstall using following command: nitin@nitin-desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo easy_install -U rosinstall vcstools [sudo] password for nitin: Searching for rosinstall Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/rosinstall/ Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found! Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/rosinstall/ Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found! Couldn't find index page for 'rosinstall' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found! No local packages or download links found for rosinstall error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('rosinstall') This repeats couple of times. Is this issue related to proxy??? I do not face any problem when having a direct internet connnection. I had tried using pip also but i gets problems. Following is the output of log file. Downloading/unpacking rosinstall Getting page http://pypi.python.org/simple/rosinstall Could not fetch URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/rosinstall: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known> Will skip URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/rosinstall when looking for download links for rosinstall Getting page http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Could not fetch URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known> Will skip URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ when looking for download links for rosinstall Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Cannot find requirement rosinstall, nor fetch index URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Exception information: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 252, in main self.run(options, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 408, in run requirement_set.install_files(finder, force_root_egg_info=self.bundle) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 1750, in install_files url = finder.find_requirement(req_to_install, upgrade=self.upgrade) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 996, in find_requirement url_name = self._find_url_name(Link(self.index_urls[0]), url_name, req) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 1073, in _find_url_name raise DistributionNotFound('Cannot find requirement %s, nor fetch index URL %s' % (req, index_url)) DistributionNotFound: Cannot find requirement rosinstall, nor fetch index URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ The package I am trying to install is from ROS (www.ros.org) . The community of ROS has suggested to ask the solution in this community . I hope some one can solve the problem. Could this problem be because of any proxy rules???? I am not aware of these. regards prince _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
