108,Setup.py install missing section header error,anonymous,xi,"When I try to install pysyck on mac osx 10.5.5 by typing python setup. py install I get the following error:

I used to get another error, syck.h not found, then I made a file in my home folder thanks to xi:

I'd suggest you to create a file named .pydistutils.cfg in your home directory and add the following lines to it:

{{{
[build_ext]
include_dirs=/usr/local/include
library_dirs=/usr/local/lib
}}}

The Syck.h error disappeared, but I can't get the new one to go away, nor can I find solutions online.

I anybody has any idea, that would be great!",defect,closed,high,pysyck,major,invalid,,
