Not Able To Install RPi.GPIO in XBian

[kusti8]

I have tried and failed when installing RPi.GPIO in XBian. Changing distros is out of the question since this is the only one that works with my ad-hoc network. Every time I try to install it via pip, it says that it cannot find the file or directory. I have used easy_install and tried reinstalling many packages, but to no avail.

Maybe a silly question, but is gcc actually installed?

I tried installing it and it installed some extra packages (cpp, etc.), but it still gives me the same error.

What is the output of 'gcc --version'?

Suggestion from http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2287.html is to install 'libc6-dev'

I tried reinstalling that but it did nothing. When I tried to do an upgrade, I noticed that it would not update python2.7. It also would not install Python-dev.

Do you get any messages when installing e.g. python-dev?

Yeah, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Unpacking replacement python2.7-minimal ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7-minimal_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_armhf.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so', which is also in package python2.7 2.7.3-6
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7-minimal_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_armhf.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

EDIT: I get the same error when trying to upgrade since it tries to upgrade python2.7-minimal.

Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

That does some stuff, but when I try to upgrade or install python-dev, it still gives me the error message and when installing RPi.GPIO, it gives me the same error message.

Anyone? Please?

Anyone? Please?

Have you tried the XBian forum?

I finally got it!!!

What I did was I updated the sources list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list and commented out the old repos (all of them) and then added:

Code: Select all

deb http://apt.xbian.org stable main

to it.
I ran an update and upgrade and this fixed it. I guess the packages in the old repo were too old, so once I changed it to the new repo and updated, it worked.

Thanks for all your help everybody!
