How to Install

From git

After cloning the repository run autogen.sh:

$ git://github.com/rocky/pydb.git
$ cd pydb
$ sh ./autogen.sh

This older package uses GNU autoconf to try to figure out where Python packages are installed. It sometimes gets this wrong. So you may see this message at the end:

configure: Trying to reset site-packages a the default often gets this wrong
configure: error: Didn't get Python site packages install path.
  Set it with --with-site-packages

So to deal with this rerun configure. For Python 2.7 and Ubuntu, python packages seem to be installed in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7. So I run:

$ ./configure --with-site-packages=/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7

Then run make, make check and make install:

$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install 

Or drop the "sudo" if you don't need root privileges.
