Problems with PySide installation

Question

I have python2.7.9 on my new Xubuntu installation, albeit it\'s 14.04. PySide installation stuck with Shiboken

Linking CXX shared library libshiboken-python2.7.         


        

Answer 1

The output is showing that it's trying to link against a static python library, rather than a shared one - i.e. libpython2.7.a, rather than libpython2.7.so.

Thus, it's python that needs to be re-compiled with --enable-shared, not shiboken.
