Install and Build Problem on Mac OS X 10.5 and Python 2.6

How to use pip after the OS X El Capitan upgrade? Ask Question Asked 4 years, 3 months ago. Do you want to continue using the Mac OS X version of Python or install your own? Then I tried sudo pip install -ignore-installed ipython and it runs until 'Running setup.py install for pexpect'. OS X Installation ¶ We provide binaries for OS X for each of the supported Python versions in the wheel format. $ python setup.py install Building on Windows.

Hi

I have used macport to install spidermonkey. It says this isinstalled.

When i attempt to build spidermonkey it fails with the errormessage below.

Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$ python setup.pybuild
Traceback (most recent call last):
File 'setup.py', line 186, in

File 'setup.py', line 143, in platform_config

File 'setup.py', line 87, in nspr_config

File 'setup.py', line 59, in pkg_config

RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr

Same message appears when i attempt install.

Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$ python setup.pyinstall
Traceback (most recent call last):
File 'setup.py', line 186, in

File 'setup.py', line 143, in platform_config

File 'setup.py', line 87, in nspr_config

File 'setup.py', line 59, in pkg_config

RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr

Really have no idea what is wrong.

  Calum,

  You need to make sure that libnspr is installed from ports. Youcan install it like:

  Though it should've been installed for spidermonkey I think. Ifthat says nspr is already installed check and see if there's annspr-config script in /opt/local/bin. If there is, then you justneed to make sure /opt/local/bin is on your path. You can do thattemporarily why running the setup.py script like such:

  Let me know if that fixes things.

  Thanks for the quick reply!

  I seem to have nspr installed because when using:

  $ sudo port install nspr

  I get the following already installed message (well i thinkthat's what it is)

  Macintosh-9:~ calum$ sudo port install nspr
  Password:
  Skipping org.macports.activate (nspr ) since this port is alreadyactive
  ---> Cleaning nspr

  I checked /opt/local/bin and there is a nspr-config file. Iused

  $ PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin python setup.py build

  and again got the same error as always:

  Macintosh-9:python-spidermonkey-0.0.7 calum$PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin python setup.py build
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 'setup.py', line 186, in

  File 'setup.py', line 143, in platform_config

  File 'setup.py', line 87, in nspr_config

  File 'setup.py', line 59, in pkg_config

  RuntimeError: No package configuration found for: nspr

  Also to note, when I installed MacPorts for the first time itdidn't work. So i added the following to/Users/Calum/.bash_profile

  export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
  export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
  export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info
  test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh

  Now the complete file (/Users/Calum/.bash_profile) reads:

  PATH='/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:${PATH}'
  export PATH

  ##

  ##

  export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH
  

  export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
  export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
  export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info
  test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh

  Not sure if this is having an effect. Trivial pursuit categories.

  Just to clarify the parts in header format are commented out,but i'm guessing the hash is seen as formatting and thereforeremoved.

• Paul J. DavisJune 25th, 2009 @ 04:29 PM

  Calum,

  Oh, forgot one, you need pkgconfig installed too.

  In the end, you need the following command to work:

  If that fixes things I'll add a note to the README.

  I can confirm that it does fix it.

  I'm getting the same build failure on snow leopard.

  I installed pkgconfig and nspr with ports. I'm using a Pythonbuilt
  from source.

  I beat my head on this a bit more.

  The assertion errors results from sizeof(unsigned) (4) not beingthe
  same as sizeof(unsigned long) (8). I assume this was somethingthat
  changed in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

  Since python-spidermonkey includes a snapshot of spidermonkey,I
  thought I'd try to install later versions of spider monkley and
  install python-spidermonkey via system libraries. After muchflailing,
  I managed to get a system build of spider monkey from themercurial
  repo build with --enable-threadsafe and managed to get
  python-spidermonkey to use it by hand crafting a mozilla-ns.pcfile.
  Unfortunately, python-spidermonkey fails to build with manyerrors
  suggesting the spidermonkey apis have changed too much for
  python-spidermonkey to keep up with.

  To build a python-spidermonkey egg on Mac OS X 10.6(Snow Leopard):

  1. Install from MacPorts:
     

     • pkg-config

     • spidermonkey

     The spidermonkey port will installnspr as a dependency.

     (The +universal is optional. If you use a universalbuild of Python it's better to build universal libraries too.)

  2. Create a pkg-config metadata file forspidermonkey because it
     does not create one during install.

     The file needs to be named mozilla-js.pc becausethat's the name python-spidermonkey is looking forwhen it calls pkg-config.

     Open in your favorite editor/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/mozilla-js.pc and put thiscontent in

  3. Download a source distribution of thepython-spidermonkey egg from
     http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-spidermonkey/0.0.9or the latest snapshot from the python-spidermonkeyhome page listed at PyPI.

  4. Unpack the source distribution and build the egg usingzc.buildout

     or Python

     (Add the appropriate path to buildout or python above.)

Python/JavaScript bridge module, making use of Mozilla's spidermonkey JavaScript implementation. Allows implementation of JavaScript classes, objects and functions in Python, and evaluation and calling of JavaScript scripts and functions respectively. Borrows heavily from Claes Jacobssen's Javascript Perl module, in turn based on Mozilla's 'PerlConnect' Perl binding.
