sudo pip install octoprint fails, no python.h so the build bails out. missing pypy.dev and a reboot, but pip installed about 15 python things including a new kernel and a new pip and pypy. Repeating the install after a reboot was succsesfull. But running octoprint ties up a shell that a ctrl-C exits. otherwise no output. octoprint --help is very terse. Next? Is there a tut someplace that I missed? Thanks, I think. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
