pip Installation Issue with Savanna

Asked by Andy Edmonds

On a clean up to date 13.04 ubuntu box installing savanna (following the docs) with pip fails. It also fails if it's installed via savanna tarballs. The command line output is here [1] and the pip.log file is here [2]. savanna-dashboard also reports the same issue.

Any ideas?

Moving to questions as there might be something other than savanna at issue here

It works ok on both my laptop and dev box. Random ideas:

* do you have python headers installed?
* which version of pip do you have?

pip version == 1.3.1 and installed via apt-get.

Also python-dev (which I presume include headers) and python-setuptools is also installed. I followed the setup guide for a dev. environment [1] but did not install virtualenv (note the issue still occurs within a venv).

The output of pip doesn't have much info. The only hint is:

    [pbr] Processing SOURCES.txt

    writing manifest file 'pip-egg-info/savanna.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'

    warning: LocalManifestMaker: standard file '-c' not found

    error: No such file or directory

Just been digging a little more... seems the "No such file or directory" is related to the fact git was not installed.

With git installed this error goes away.
