make: *** [.rmtoo_dependencies] Error 1

[hhanff]

Hi!

I wanted to give rmtoo a try on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS but I cannot get it running. I followed the pip instruction routine described here

Running make throws the following error:

(venv)[MyNewProject] make RMTOO_CONFIG=Config.json
Makefile:32: .rmtoo_dependencies: No such file or directory
rmtoo -j file://Config.json \
        --create-makefile-dependencies=.rmtoo_dependencies

Can you help?

I'm sorry - but I have no idea.

Looking into the argparse module I did not find any hint.

How did you install your python? AFAIK the version that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 is 2.7.5 (https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/python).

Do you have any chance to update to a somewhat newer version of python?

I just tested it here using python 2.7.13 and had no problems.

I will try it on Ubuntu 16.04 in the following days.

[hhanff]

All right. The problem also occured on 16.04. In the end I moved my .bashrc and the problem vanished. It compiles now.

If I find the time to further investigate the problem I will let you know. Thanks for your support.

Found this

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/.python"

in my .bashrc which caused the error.
