Oh I see it. It is trying to build the optional binary components of Twisted-8.2.0 and you don't have a compatible C compiler installed. Here's the work-around: look in setup.cfg and see the part that says:
# The following is a directory on the test grid which holds a bunch of packages of dependencies. # It is commented-out because unfortunately the test grid is currently (2009-03-05) too # unreliable -- it occasionally fails, and when it fails it usually does so by waiting a very # long time with no response to the HTTP GET. This occasionally makes builds painfully slow. # There are several issues which might be responsible for this bad behavior of test grid: #193, # #253, #287, #651, #653. # http://testgrid.allmydata.org:3567/uri/URI%3ADIR2-RO%3Asnrfwfxatrci35zdgjnzxxx2ke%3Aunarxv347edtku3xzmefy4mcdmfngxzeb72iyqcadbjzjpczjx5a/index.html Add that URL at testgrid.allmydata.org into the list of find_links. Then, next time you try to build Tahoe, the build system will look in that directory on the Tahoe test grid (paste that URL into a web browser yourself to see what is there), and it will download a binary egg of Twisted-8.2.0 for your platform and Python version. Please let me know how it goes. I think we need to solve this problem one way or another for the next release (planned for June), either by commenting the testgrid URL back in in setup.cfg or by hosting the binary eggs on a traditional apache server. Regards, Zooko P.S. Also, some future release of Twisted will not fail to install just because it couldn't build optional binary components: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3586 (I want to install twisted without a c compiler) _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
