problem calling "setup.py build"

[mk770]

Hi,
I get the following error-message after calling "python setup.py build".

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 31, in
gphoto2_version = str(subprocess.check_output(['gphoto2-config', '--version']))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 566, in check_output
process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, _popenargs, *_kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 709, in init
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1326, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The problem is that i can actually find the file using "find"-command.
Thus the file does exist in the directory.

It's located in: /usr/lib/bin/gphoto2-config

Best regards
mk770

That's an unusual place for an executable - on my machine it's /usr/bin/gphoto2-config. What variety of Linux are you using?
I'm not sure I can do anything in python-gphoto2 to get round this. You can add /usr/lib/bin to your path, after which it should work. Maybe I should add something about this to the README.

My OS:
Linux Verison : Linux Mint 16 Petra
Kernel Release : 3.11.0-12-generic

Sry,
I cause this problem by a wrong Installation of libgphoto2.
All gphoto2-files like ( /usr/lib/bin/gphoto2-config ) belong to the commandline tool "gphoto2" not to "libgphoto2".
thx for your help.

On the 3 linux distros I have (Linux Mint 16 Petra, openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) and Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)) all include /usr/bin/gphoto2-config with the libgphoto2 development headers package. (Although their names for that package vary...)
