Question #193989 on Graphite changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/193989
Steve Keller proposed the following answer: Having just gone through this with RHEL 5.8 and Python 2.7.3, I can say this - you have to install a pycairo version that is the same as the version of the cairo library you have. For us, with our repos, that was 1.2.4 (cairo) and 1.20 pycairo. Also, you have to build pycairo, there is no other way to install it on RHEL 5 using a newer Python. To do this, you have to configure in the following way, after downloading and untarring the source: PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 ./configure If you don't do that, python gets installed in the default Python, 2.4. Hope this helps. Note - this was a major pain for me (maybe I'm just dumb), but the install instructions for pycairo do not include this information, and there are a couple of places that Google found that have the sequence of commands wrong. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of graphite-dev, which is an answer contact for Graphite. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
