Install pykerberos error

[thiteixeira]

Dear Stefan.

I have Django installed in my Ubuntu virtual machine and I need Kerberos for a certain application. I ran "pip install --upgrade pykerberos" and got the following error log (I tried "pip install django-auth-kerberos" first and got the same message). Should I run some other command before the pip install?

PS: I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question (let me know if not).

Thanks

Hi Thiago,

this is fine place to ask this very valid question, but one question in return first: could you try installing libkrb5-dev (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libkrb5-dev) and try again?

Thanks, Stefan

Hi Stefan.

After installing the libkrb5-dev package it worked.

Thanks for helping

you are welcome, will look into making the error message more obvious
