When installing distribute-0.6.49 with python3.3.2 in Ubuntu system, error encountered
....blablabla followed by...
"Compression requires the (missing) zlib module")
RuntimeError: Compression requires the (missing) zlib module
I have checked previous solutions that I need to install zlib package, but Should I re install my python again before that? can't I install zlib over it?
If re-installing of python needed, Where can I find python 3.3 with zlib already therein so that i can install python as usual?
回答1:
If you are running ubuntu then it is usually recomended that you use the package from the package manager. You can get python 3 - currently 3.3.1 with either sudo apt-get install python3 if I recall correctly or by using the software centre.
I am reasonably sure that the default distribution includes zlib.
Python 3.3.1 (default, Apr 17 2013, 22:30:32)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import zlib
>>> exit()

To compile Python with zlib support, you need to install the zlib1g-dev package so that Python can find the headers.
You'd need to re-install your source-compiled Python to take this along.
