Software Build and Installation (picard)

[James Board]

Hi,

I'm trying to install a Python application called 'Picard', and I'm not familiar with Python. It isn't able to find an include file 'avcodec.h', however, I know that file exists in '/usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h'. What do I probably have to do in order to make the python installer aware of this? The error message is below. It's difficult for me to figure this out because I don't want to learn python merely to install this one application and further more, the file '_configtest.c' doesn't even it exists: it appears to only be created temporarily for the build:

> python setup.py config
running config
checking for pkg-cfg... yes
checking for libofa... (pkg-config) yes
checking for libavcodec/libavformat... (pkg-config) yes
compiling '_configtest.c':
#include <avcodec.h>
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fwrapv -fPIC -c _configtest.c -o _configtest.o
_configtest.c:1:21: error: avcodec.h: No such file or directory
failure.

Thanks

One source for that would be to install ffmpeg-devel from the rpmfusion repos.

BASH:~/-> locate avcodec.h
/usr/include/ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h
BASH:~/-> rpm -qf /usr/include/ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h
ffmpeg-devel-0.6-3.fc12.i686

But, I already have avcodec.h. The problem is that the python installer doesn't find it.

How can I tell the python install to find it?
