I'm trying to compile the sources - 1.2.13 - on a fresh system: Ubuntu Server 15.04 I'm running into the following issue "Missing type converters": python setup.py build running build /usr/bin/pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=0.9.11 libvirt /usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 402 functions in /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 0 functions in libvirt-override-api.xml Generated 332 wrapper functions Missing type converters: virDomainIOThreadInfoPtr **:1 virDomainIOThreadInfoPtr:1 virDomainInterfacePtr:1 virDomainInterfacePtr **:1 ERROR: failed virDomainGetIOThreadInfo ERROR: failed virDomainIOThreadInfoFree ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceAddresses ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceFree error: command '/usr/bin/python' failed with exit status 1 If you want to reproduce it, my suggestion is to completely uninstall python-libvirt. Maybe some dependencies are not met on my system, but which ones?
Is there some expectation about some libvirt configuration files? I'm currently experiencing another issue with that topic: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217194
I've been able to install all libvirt configuration files, and tried again to build your package with the exact same result: python setup.py build running build /usr/bin/pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=0.9.11 libvirt /usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 402 functions in /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 0 functions in libvirt-override-api.xml Generated 332 wrapper functions Missing type converters: virDomainIOThreadInfoPtr **:1 virDomainIOThreadInfoPtr:1 virDomainInterfacePtr:1 virDomainInterfacePtr **:1 ERROR: failed virDomainGetIOThreadInfo ERROR: failed virDomainIOThreadInfoFree ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceAddresses ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceFree error: command '/usr/bin/python' failed with exit status 1 I'm going to try with a previous release.
I've discovered that there's a new release 1.2.14 which can be built almost correctly: python setup.py build running build /usr/bin/pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=0.9.11 libvirt /usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 402 functions in /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml Found 0 functions in libvirt-override-api.xml Generated 334 wrapper functions /usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt-qemu /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-qemu-api.xml Found 5 functions in /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-qemu-api.xml Found 0 functions in libvirt-qemu-override-api.xml Generated 3 wrapper functions /usr/bin/pkg-config --atleast-version=1.0.2 libvirt /usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt-lxc /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-lxc-api.xml Found 3 functions in /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-lxc-api.xml Found 0 functions in libvirt-lxc-override-api.xml Generated 1 wrapper functions running build_py creating build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 copying build/libvirt.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 copying build/libvirt_qemu.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 copying build/libvirt_lxc.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 running build_ext building 'libvirtmod' extension creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7 creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/build x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fPIC -I. -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c libvirt-override.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/libvirt-override.o -I/usr/local/include libvirt-override.c:20:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory #include <Python.h> ^ compilation terminated. error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 I have python3-dev installed, but not python-dev nor python2.7-dev. Why are you using an old python release?
Now it can be built and installed correctly. Thanks for the modifications.
