Cannot Install Python RPIO

[JonnyAlpha]

Hi;

I have bought an Adafruit Pan and Tilt and am trying to control it using the info on the Dawn Robotics site here:

http://blog.dawnrobotics.co.uk/2013/10/ ... mment-1101

The script that is linked from this page is here:

https://github.com/DawnRobotics/pi_pan_ ... control.py

It uses the RPIO Python library however I cannot seem to install it, I have tried using the instructions on the DAGU page using PIP as well as the easy_install option from the RPIO page here:

http://pythonhosted.org/RPIO/

When trying to install RPIO as instructed above using sudo pip install RPIO I get an error:

compilation terminated
error: command ‘arm-linux-gnueabihf -gcc’ failed with exit status 1

I also get a similar error when using easy_install, sudo apt-get install RPIO also fails?

Any ideas

It should work unless you are using a Pi2.

compilation terminated
error: command ‘arm-linux-gnueabihf -gcc’ failed with exit status 1

The actual error message will be above those lines.

As a guess, if the error is "Python.h: No such file or directory", then the solution is "sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev".

Ah yes this was on an RPi 2.

Yes I seem to recall the last error message state Python.h No such file or directory
