Can't find "development headers" version of libgphoto2 #62

Closed greiginsydney closed 6 years ago

greiginsydney commented 6 years ago

I appreciate this isn't a bug in python-gphoto2, but it's blocking me. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?

I'm installing onto a Pi running raspbian 9 Stretch (and I've had everything working before on this release - just this time I'm trying to build onto a Zero).

sudo pip install -v libgphoto2 fails for me, as the two locations it's looking are dead: Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/libgphoto2/: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url ... Could not fetch URL https://www.piwheels.org/simple/libgphoto2/: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url ...

The handy script from here was my next attempt: https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater but despite it looking like it's gone OK, I can't find the examples anywhere and I don't have any confidence it's worked correctly.

Any ideas? Thanks.

The command sudo pip install -v libgphoto2 will attempt to install a Python package called libgphoto2, which does not exist. You need to use apt-get to install the libgphoto2 library (dev headers version).

Thanks for the quick response Jim. Any ideas what I'm still missing here?

That's just the library, not its development headers. apt-cache search libgphoto2 should show you what to install.

Thanks Jim. Champion!! My Pi Zero is online!! I think my problem was just mixing up pip and apt-get.

For anyone following at home my fix was to: apt-cache search libgphoto2 which revealed I needed the below: sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-dev and for good measure I followed with: sudo pip install -v -U --force-reinstall gphoto2
