Building the library fails : ''pandas/index.c: No such file or directory"

[sebpiq]

I just forked and cloned the master branch (last commit from 6th December), and building fails with the following error :

> python setup.py build_ext --inplace
running build_ext
building 'pandas.index' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/home/spiq/pandas/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -Ipandas/src/klib -Ipandas/src -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c pandas/index.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.7/pandas/index.o
gcc: error: pandas/index.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 4

Any idea ?

What Cython version are you using?

[sebpiq]

I'm not using Cython

[jseabold]

You have to use Cython to build pandas development version from github.

Ok ... that would be nice to have somehow this info in here : http://pandas.pydata.org/developers.html
But thanks :)

IMO, it's pretty clear where it is under the installation instructions. Those are just instructions to build the library inplace so you can run the test suite not installation instructions.

The setup.py is supposed to have a better error message-- I did a lot of refactoring of the extensions recently so must have broken that part of the build file somehow.

Now I installed all the stuff, followed the instructions, but tests fail.

Which tests are failing?

Arr ... no no. My bad again. I should think before asking :) Sorry. However, many tests are skipped.

it seems that the informative error message has disappeared again, I just landed here googling my build error of:

gcc: pandas/index.c: No such file or directory

and installing cython fixed things
