I've been trying to install the pybfd module but nothing works so far.
Tried the following:
pip install pybfd returns error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized. After a quick search I found the --egg option for pip which seems to work, says successfully installed but when I try to run my code ImportError: No module named pybfd.bfd
easy_install pybfd returns an error as well:
Writing /tmp/easy_install-oZUgBf/pybfd-0.1.1/setup.cfg
Running pybfd-0.1.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-oZUgBf/pybfd-0.1.1/egg-dist-tmp-gWwhoT
[-] Error : unable to determine correct include path for bfd.h / dis-asm.h
No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-oZUgBf/pybfd-0.1.1/egg-dist-tmp-gWwhoT (setup script problem?)
For the last attempt I downloaded the pybfd repo from GitHub and ran the setup script: [-] Error : unable to determine correct include path for bfd.h / dis-asm.h
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing all this and how to actually install the module ?
After some trial and error I discovered that binutils-dev and python-dev packages were missing and causing the header path errors. After installing those the setup script worked.
