Cannot install on Ubuntu

[juanilarregui]

Hi,

I've been trying to install the library on Ubuntu 16.04. I had some problems in the compilation process (libboost_numpy was on a different folder than the rest of Boost libraries), but finally it did compile.
However, when I run

sudo python setup.py install

I get the following error:

build/lib/lime.so
running install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 70, in <module>
    data_files=[ (get_python_lib(), [ lime_shared_lib ]) ]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 151, in setup
    dist.run_commands()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands
    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command
    cmd_obj.run()
  File "setup.py", line 49, in run
    super(install, self).run()
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

Any ideas?

Hi @juanilarregui,

Actually, the current version supports only Python 3.x, and I tested my code only on Python 3.4.
If the version is not important for you, please try on 3.x.

While I am trying to make the project running on also Python 2.x but it will take some time...

Cheers!

Hi @tatsy,

Thanks for your quick response! I've succeeded at the installation using:

sudo python3 setup.py

but now, I've got problems when I try to import the library in python:

>>> import lime
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lime.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6python6detail11init_moduleER11PyModuleDefPFvvE

do you know what's causing it?

P.S.: sorry to bother you with this kind of things.

Hi @juanilarregui,

To install python module, you have to build lime.so before running setup.py.
The build can be perfomed with CMake. The installation can be like the following.

# On root of lime
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D LIME_BUILD_PYTHON_MODULE=ON ..
cmake --build .
cd ..
python setup.py install

Before install the library, please make sure lime.so appears in build/lib directory.
Cheers.

I updated codes to support Python 2.x. I tested on Python 2.7 on #MacOSX.
You can check the PR #5.

Hi @tatsy,

Still can't get it to work. Having the same problem as before (python 2.7 or 3, same thing). I have build the library and installed it, and lime.so is in build/lib folder.

Maybe a problem within lime.so while searching boost_python? Because the line mention it:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lime.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6python6detail11init_moduleER11PyModuleDefPFvvE

Cheers.

Hi @juanilarregui,

Have you run setup.py from the root directory?
Even if lime.so is in build/lib directory, it cannot be used without installation in general.

The error you posted does not seem to be the one from boost python.
Cheers!

Hi @tatsy,

First, sorry to continue bothering you with this.

Yes, I have build and installed the library. Here is the output of each step, for if you find something wrong:

Thanks in advance!

Hi @juanilarregui,

Sorry to be late in responding.
I think the problem is Boost version. To use our program, you should use Boost version 1.63.0 or higher.
Please make sure boost_python and boost_numpy is built with the correct Python headers and libraries.
