Comment (by nbruin):

 Replying to [comment:22 jdemeyer]:
 > I just tried to install runsnake in my Sage Python and it went
 flawlessly.
 If failed for me in the configuration process:
 {{{
 checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available,
 falling back to 0.8
 checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not available.
 configure: error: GStreamer not available
 Error running configure
 ERROR: failed building wxWidgets
 }}}
 Runsnake as packaged by Fedora works well for me (apart from the fact that
 `SquareMap-1.0.3` was required but not packaged by Fedora. I presume this
 has been resolved in more modern distributions).

 So, installing and building runsnake in the sage python seems a convenient
 solution for some people, but the building requirements are so heavy (the
 wxPython source tarball is 58Mb, and it requires all kinds of bells and
 whistles to be present on the host system that are not otherwise required
 for sage) that supporting a system runsnake should definitely be an option
 (and it's not hard to do).

 The last couple of times I've just resorted to saving the profile data
 using "%prun -D <filename> <command" and opening it with the system
 runsnake afterwards (the pathnames allow the system runsnake to display
 all relevant source, so it doesn't need to run in the same python as where
 the profile comes from).
